Winter and Spring in Poetry

Previous posts with their poetic contrasts of winter with spring made me think of Emily Dickinson and I went in search of her poems online.  I found her complete collection at Bartleby.com  and offer here a pair of first-stanzas that I found there.  Both of these are in “Part Two:  Nature” of the Dickinson collection.

There's a certain slant of light,  
On winter afternoons,  
That oppresses, like the weight  
Of cathedral tunes.  

     LXXXV

A light exists in spring    
  Not present on the year    
At any other period.    
  When March is scarcely here   

By the way, I have developed a poetry-math blog, “Intersections – Poetry with Mathematics,” that is available here.  I invite your comments and suggestions.      Thanks!    JoAnne
