BLAZING IN GOLD by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: BLAZING IN GOLD AND QUENCHING IN PURPLE
Last Line: AND THE JUGGLER OF DAY IS GONE!
Subject(s): NATURE;
BLAZING in gold and quenching in purple,
Leaping like leopards to the sky,
Then at the feet of the old horizon
Laying her spotted face, to die;

Stooping as low as the kitchen window,
Touching the roof and tinting the barn,
Kissing her bonnet to the meadow, --
And the juggler of day is gone!
