THE CLOUDS THEIR BACKS TOGETHER LAID by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: NorĀ venganceĀ ever comes
Subject(s): NATURE;

The Clouds their Backs together laid
The North begun to push
The Forests galloped till they fell
The Lightning played like mice

The Thunder crumbled like a stuff
How good to be in Tombs
Where Nature's Temper cannot reach
Nor vengance ever comes
