    Hi everyone

    I have to say that I wish I could help - the poems that I have studied of Dickinson have been some of my favourites. But I am not an expert and have little awareness of the colour purple! She often likes to use cornet imagery to examine and explore things that lack definition - I expect colour would be sort of similar to this technique. I guess connotations of purple... power? Not really sure!
