Analysis of All Circumstances are the Frame

Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)



All Circumstances are the Frame
In which His Face is set—
All Latitudes exist for His
Sufficient Continent—

The Light His Action, and the Dark
The Leisure of His Will—
In Him Existence serve or set
A Force illegible.
