One need not be a chamber to be haunted
Emily Dickinson
1830 to 1886
Track 1
Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

The stones achase,
Than an interior confronting
In lonesome place.
One need not be a house;
Than, moonless, one's own self encounter
Assassin, hid in our apartment,
Material place.
He bolts the door,
Far safer, of a midnight meeting
External ghost,
More near.
Ourself, behind ourself concealed,
That whiter host.
One need not be a chamber to be haunted,
The brain has corridors surpassing
The prudent carries a revolver,
Be horror's least.
Far safer through an Abbey gallop,
Should startle most;
O'erlooking a superior spectre
