There's a certain Slant of light

There’s a certain Slant of light, Winter Afternoons – That oppresses, like the Heft Of Cathedral Tunes – Heavenly Hurt, it gives us – We can find no scar, But internal difference, Where the Meanings, are – None may teach it – Any – ‘Tis the Seal Despair – An imperial affliction Sent us of the Air – There’s a certain Slant of light, It falls, and it remains – There’s a certain Slant of light, That settles in the veins – No scar upon the surface , No mark that will repair, Only quiet pressure – Moving through the Air – When it comes, the Landscape listens – Shadows – hold their breath – When it goes, ‘tis like the Distance On the look of Death – None may teach it – Any – ‘Tis the Seal Despair – An imperial affliction Sent us of the Air – There’s a certain Slant of light, It falls, and it remains – There’s a certain Slant of light, That settles in the veins – No scar upon the surface , No mark that will repair, Only quiet pressure – Moving through the Air – Heavenly Hurt, – We can find no scar, Internal difference, Where the Meanings, are – There’s a certain Slant of light, Winter Afternoons – There’s a certain Slant of light …that never leaves the room Lyrics: Emily Dickinson (adapted by Cheshirah)
