I dwell in possibility.

Emily Dickinson, “I dwell in Possibility”

Literature

Why it matters

The idea in context

This is Dickinson's poem 466, where poetry becomes a house larger than prose. 'Possibility' is not vague optimism; it is the architecture of imagination, with more windows, wider doors, and a roof made of sky.

Türkçe

Aynı kart, başka bir dilde.

Olasılıkta yaşarım.
Emily Dickinson, “I dwell in Possibility”

Bu söz Dickinson'ın 466. şiiri 'I dwell in Possibility'den gelir; şiirde şiir, düzyazıdan daha geniş bir eve dönüşür. 'Olasılık' belirsiz iyimserlik değildir; daha çok penceresi, daha geniş kapıları ve gökyüzünden çatısı olan hayal gücü mimarisidir.
