A House upon the Height
"A House upon the Height" is a short poem by Emily Dickinson that turns a lonely hilltop house into a riddle. No wagon ever reached it, no peddler approached, and no chimney smoke ever rose. Its windows catch the first sunrise and the last sunset, then hold only empty panes. Neighbors guess at the fate of the house's owner, but no one speaks of it. The poem's mood is hushed and eerie, and it leaves its central mystery unsolved.
