“There’s a certain kind of light<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On winter afternoons,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That oppresses, like the weight<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of cathedral tunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heavenly hurt it gives us;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can find no scar,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But internal difference<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where the meanings are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
None may teach it anything,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘Tis the seal, despair,-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An imperial affliction<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sent us of the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes, the landscape listens<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shadows hold their breath;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it goes, ’tis like the distance<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the look of death.”\u00a0 Emily Dickinson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
