The Mountain

The mountain sat upon the plain
In his everlasting seat,
His perception omnifold,
His investigation all over.

The seasons supplicated around his knees,
Like kids cycle a sire:
Granddad of the days is he,
Of day break the precursor.

"The Mountain" by Emily Dickinson portrays the grand presence of a mountain on the plain. The mountain is a representation for an immortal granddad figure, solidly situated in its timeless seat, and having a thorough mindfulness that broadens all over. The sonnet further delineates the mountain's importance by comparing it to a loved figure, with the seasons gathering around it like youngsters around a dad. The mountain is portrayed as a respected precursor, the originator of each new day's first light.
