Great Regulars: I fully endorse the view of Linda Sue Grimes

who says that the above poem fully brings out the pure joys of innocent childhood. Let me quote her own words here: "Emily Dickinson's speaker remains somewhat hazy about what that special light looks like, but she has made it abundantly clear how it makes her feel, and that aspect of the poem endears it to children. The experience of this light affects her so deeply that she cannot describe its physical appearance but only the strange influence it exerts upon her mind and heart." The mystery of Emily Dickinson's spirituality is not the way she lived but the way she wrote. She had contempt for public notice.
