Like Time's isidious wrinkle
On a beloved Face -
We clutch the Grace the tighter
Though we resent the Crease
The Frost himself so comely
Dishevels every prime
Asserting from his Prism
That none can punish him

Can anyone please help me to understand why E.D. capitalized:
Time's
Face
Grace
Crease
Frost
Prism

Thank you,
Jay

Maybe Emily Dickinson uses capital letters to
express/emphasize
even address and interact with
"concepts" as if they are personal
living beings
characters who she dialogues with and describes...

STILL wondering about the meaning of "prime"
And developing the discovery of
DICHOTOMY in this poem...

If anyone has any ideas, please lemme know,
I'd really appreciate it...
Thanks
Jay
