'Tis Anguish grander than Delight — Noah's Ark

This poem is not grave if we know Dickinson was talking about Noah. "Creatures . . . go up by two and two" provides the clue. The use of "questioned" and "Miracle" shows Dickinson's doubt.

'Tis Anguish grander than Delight ¹
'Tis Resurrection Pain－
The meeting Bands of smitten Face
We questioned to, again.

'Tis Transport wild as thrills the Graves ⁵
When Cerements let go
And Creatures clad in Miracle
Go up by Two and Two.

(F.192/J.984)

[1] Anguish, Delight:: God had more anguish than delight to create human. "And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart _{(Genesis 6:6)}."
[2] Resurrection:: God "will destroy man" from the earth but live Noah to have a new world.
[3, 4] Bands, questioned:: animals in the ark questioned the flood. Noah did not question God.
[5] Transport, Graves:: the action of conveying (a wild act) for the thrills of death.
[6] Cerements let go:: let the flood go and death fall on all flesh.
[7, 8] Creatures, Two and Two:: "There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah _{(Genesis 7:9)}."
