Yes, Emily Dickinson - she was pretty wacked out as a person but her poetry is wonderful, once you 'get it'.
this poem is all about the coming of winter and the softness that is included in that season, of silence and beauty. In a way winter is really all about death, yet it's beautiful and silent in the snow. One has to remember that in winter the sun is lower in the sky, that's what the 'certain slant of light' is all about. The quietness can only be truly appreciated if you have been somewhere where the snow has just recently fallen. The snow muffles sounds and therefore it is soooo quiet. Yet, as the ending says, in winter, there's also that hint of thinking about death, but then again, that is Dickinson. Her reclusive life also led her to think of death and write poetry of death (see "Because I could not stop for death").
