 * //__Analysis-typed__//- Emily Dickinsons "I dwell in possibility" seems to talk more about the social and marxist view on a "home", the "numerous windows" seems to have a connection to the occupation or actual place in society a person may have. "I dwell in possibility" seems to mean that Dickonson felt that the lower class in socities had less oppurtunities "windows", than the people in the social level of "pose", and were therefore required to dwell in the possibility** **of change and not the actual oppurtinuty to change their station of life. The possibilities seem to outwiegh the oppurtunities represented to the character in this piece.**

Emily Dickinson “I dwell in Possibility—“ (822)

I dwell in Possibility— A fairer House than Pose— More numerous of Windows— Superior—for Doors—

Of Chambers as the Cedars— Impregnable of Eye— And for an Everlasting Roof The Gambrels of the Sky—

Of Visitors—the fairest— For Occupation—This— The spreading wide my narrow Hands To gather Paradise—
