    Like time's insidious wrinkle - lil' help, please?

    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

    Personification?

    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
