Which of these excerpts from poems by emily dickinson uses irony?
my cocoon tightens, colors tease,
i'm feeling for the air;
a dim capacity for wings
degrades the dress i wear.
could she have guessed that it would be;
could but a crier of the glee
have climbed the distant hill;
had not the bliss so slow a pace, —
who knows but this surrendered face
were undefeated still?
one dignity delays for all,
one mitred afternoon.
none can avoid this purple,
none evade this crown.
there's a certain slant of light,
on winter afternoons,
that oppresses, like the weight
of cathedral tunes.
heavenly hurt it gives us;
we can find no scar,
but internal difference
where the meanings are.
exultation is the going
of an inland soul to sea, —
past the houses, past the headlands,
into deep eternity!
