Read the following poem by Emily Dickinson :

'There's a Certain Slant of Light' There's a certain slant of light, On winter afternoons, That oppresses, like the weight Of cathedral tunes. Heavenly hurt it gives us; We can find no scar, But internal difference Where the meanings are. None may teach it anything, 'Tis the seal, despair,- A. imperial affliction Sent us of the air. When it comes, the landscape listens, Shadows hold their breath; When it goes, 'tis like the distance On the look of death.  "
