The Color of a Queen, Is This
poem 776
The Color of a Queen, Is This - meaning Summary
Regal Color of Nature
Dickinson presents a meditation on a particular hue that links royalty and natural spectacle. The poem traces how the same color appears in a queenly garment, the sun at different times, and in dawn and night phenomena, suggesting nature and authority share an intense, mutable glow. The brief stanzas compress visual shifts into a single, ambiguous pigment that confers power, wonder, and a slightly uncanny beauty.
