Connections in Awe

I have been interested in looking at how Emily Dickinson approaches awe

In "Just lost, when I was saved!"

Emily is looking at an encounter with death

In this poem, she almost dies

yet decides to return to earth

The second stanza describes her feeling of awe 

at the things she saw in her glimpse of the other world:

Therefore, as One returned, I feel
Odd secrets of the line to tell!
Some Sailor, skirting foreign shores —
Some pale Reporter, from the awful doors
Before the Seal!

 She is able to connect to her readers
by aligning her feelings with experiences that her readers would be familiar with
so that they too may equate her feelings of awe with their feelings of awe

This may come in line with looking at memoirs like +Cara Gillespie  is
The poem is perhaps a mini memoir so that is interesting as well
