There's a certain slant of light, On winter afternoons, That oppresses, like the weight Of cathedral tunes.

There's a certain slant of light, On winter afternoons, That oppresses, like the weight Of cathedral tunes.

Emily Dickinson, Ralph William Franklin (1998). “The Poems of Emily Dickinson”, p.1368, Harvard University Press

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.... When it comes, the Landscape listens— Shadows—hold their breath— When it goes, 'tis like the Distance On the look of Death.

Emily Dickinson
Hurt, Distance, Winter
'There's a certain Slant of light' (c.1861)
