Sixty Seven

Another stunning enigma from Ms Dickinson of Amherst this week (being 1362 in the 1955 TH Johnson numbering).

1362

Of their peculiar light
I keep one ray
To clarify the sight
To seek them by

How wondrous and ravishing to be able to keep the light from some sweet afternoon or the dawn of a new day? Indeed but I also think of this poem as being about the importance of perspective, as if certain things, or people, or days, or whatever ‘their’ and ‘them’ may be beyond the plural, can only be sought let alone found once one’s sight is clarified.
