"And hit the World, at every plunge/ And Finished knowing-then-" (776). Well, I think this poem is addressing her craziness. At least she admits to it. When I read it the first time, I thought that it was a legit funeral, but when I reread it, I realized that it doesn't make any sense to be about a poem. To begin with, why would it be in her head? Also, it would make her the dead person. So I think that her house is the coffin, and she's trapped in it. But it almost seems like she's trying to jump out of her house...especially due to the 4th and 5th stanzas. The third stanza is what confuses me, however. I don't think it contradicts any points I've made, so I think my theory still stands.
