i need help deciphering this poem

[!_MDMA_!]

I showed her Hights by Emily Dickinson

I showed her Heights she never saw—
"Would'st Climb," I said?
She said—"Not so"—
"With me—" I said—With me?
I showed her Secrets—Morning's Nest—
The Rope the Nights were put across—
And now—"Would'st have me for a Guest?"
She could not find her Yes—
And then, I brake my life—And Lo,
A Light, for her, did solemn glow,
The larger, as her face withdrew—
And could she, further, "No"?


my specific instruction are to explain what the poem is about, what it means and how dickinson accomplishes these using poetic devices, so if you spy any let me know please

It's a poet talking about the psyche, through connecting emotional dots like I or any other might.

What's your specific interest in the poem?

... O' acceptance of whats left - of un-seen
- rejected . rejected . - - .

lol u caught me
but i honestly had no idea what this poem meant, the first reply really sparked a good tangent

 

[awkwardapple]

my reply was a tad vague, so apologies, but maybe you could write a little about the unrequited love going down
