Analysis of The Mountains—grow unnoticed
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
The Mountains—grow unnoticed—
Their Purple figures rise
Without attempt—Exhaustion—
Assistance—or Applause—
In Their Eternal Faces
The Sun—with just delight
Looks long—and last—and golden—
For fellowship—at night—
