Dickinson #719

In our group discussion during section, my group (comprised of Keila Topete, Luke Church, Daniela Amodi, Ryan Kieffe, and myself) looked at Dickinson's poem #719. We identified the "He" as being either God (hence the capitalization throughout the poem), or more likely as Christ as the poem appears to tell the story of Christ's resurrection. We noticed a great deal of odd structure in sentences, such as in line 13, and the reification of "years" in line 6.
