I think that Poem 106 offers up to the audience a wide range of thought and analysis. The poem is about relationships. The relationship between man and woman, and how there is a controlling factor within the relationship. The poet however is speaking about the change in control in power, or at least this is what I perceive. She she's the relationship as a power shift, an uncanny relationship that is quite the opposite of what the typical male to female relationship was during her time period. I hope to make this clear further in my analysis.

I believe that clearly, our poet says, "We are the Flower--Thou the Sun!" meaning that women are the flower, and the male is symbolized by the sun, she includes the exclamation point [!] for those who don't believe it. The Sun is masculine, not only with her speaking to "Sir" as the receiver, but clearly uses the masculine "his" to comment upon the display of the "golden" orb as he completes his "walk" across her Amherst town from East to West.

Eden is clearly the magnificent metaphor behind Poem 106. No doubt she saw her Amherst town as endemic. I am reminded of her letters to Abiah Root when Emily Dickinson was even younger at age 15, th

The line, "Night's possibilities", has great meaning behind it. It is saying to the audience that there are many roads ahead for women, not only for the future but the present. Society may say that women have no future nor do their opinions or thoughts count, but under the cover of night (or what I translate to emergence of women being united to fight against societal image) there are so many different options and endeavors that women should indulge themselves in. It's a changing world and the power and control of men is slowly parting to the west and setting far away from the daisy. It is time for women to stand up, uproot and fight against what the dominant sun tells us.

I will go out on the limb of danger that you told us about at the beginning of the semester and take a bold stand. I think that Dickinson is saying that she has the sun in the palm of her hand. I find it so astounding when she says, "Forgive us, if as days decline-We nearer steal to Thee! Enamored of the parting West-The peace-The flight-The Amethyst- Nights possibility!" I struggled with this stanza for many days. This is what I have come up with. I think she is drawing the sun close, so that the sun feels comfort and sound minded. The daisy uses it as a trap so that it can get what it wants. When the sun parts to the west she is saying that it is a beautiful thing. But why is it beautiful? I think the fact that the suns rule over her is now gone and she is free to live the way she wishes under the cover of
