I think I understand Emily's sentiments. there comes a point in life when nothing seems to bother. No trouble or no riches are too great to ruin the equanimity that one carries. Emily understood it way earlier and expressed is beautifully.

This is a really nice poem but i don't see sorrow anywhere Gangadharan. Instead in this poem the poet is filled with joy.

Deep sorrow, Gangadharan? 'Tis so much joy! 'Tis so much joy! I like most of Dickinson's poetry, but this is certainly not one of her best, and hardly deserves Poem of the Day when so many better ones could have been chosen.
