“I dwell in Possibility – A fairer House than Prose –”
What this quote means
Dickinson celebrates the power of imagination and infinite possibilities, which she contrasts with prose, a symbol of the mundane and limitations. To dwell in Possibility is to choose a mindset where everything becomes conceivable, where doors are open rather than closed.
