Read the poem.

I Dwell In Possibility

by Emily Dickinson

I dwell in Possibility –
A fairer House than Prose –
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 –

Question 1
Part A

What is a key theme of "I Dwell in Possibility"?


Writing is superior to other occupations.

The creation of art is a divine occupation.

Being cut off from nature is a form of isolation.

A solitary life is not worth living.
Question 2
Part B

How does Emily Dickinson develop the theme indicated in Part A?


She mocks occupations that don't involve writing.

She beckons visitors to enter her home as often as they would like.

Dickinson compares poetry to living alone in isolation.

Dickinson describes writing poetry as gathering "Paradise."
