Emily Dickinson's "There's a certain slant of light"

Link to Original Poem: http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15390


A Poem Within the Poem:

Certain winter afternoons
oppress like Cathedral Tunes --

We can find no scar,
Where the Meanings are --

None may Seal Despair --
An affliction sent us of the air --

The Shadows hold the Distance --
their breath like the look of Death.
