Analysis of I saw no Way—The Heavens were stitched
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
I saw no Way—The Heavens were stitched—
I felt the Columns close—
The Earth reversed her Hemispheres—
I touched the Universe—
And back it slid—and I alone—
A Speck upon a Ball—
Went out upon Circumference—
Beyond the Dip of Bell—
