I took a course on Emily Dickinson once. One of the things I remember is the theory that the way she placed the words on the page within the context of the poem was part of her art. All of those hyphens and specific line stops and starts become a "mini-painting" with a composition and flow. Some say that the way her poems are laid out is just as important as the words.

This card text was centered which is highly unusual for Mr. B. Can't help but think it was on purpose. It has a haiku-like quality.
