Analysis of There are two Ripenings—one—of sight
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
There are two Ripenings—one—of sight—
Whose forces Spheric wind
Until the Velvet product
Drop spicy to the ground—
A homelier maturing—
A process in the Bur—
That teeth of Frosts alone disclose
In far October Air.
