In Dickinson’s poem, Eden, characterized as a place of holiness, warmth, and comfort, becomes “that old-fashioned house” (Dickinson 1). Her word choice gives the sense that Eden is a place of comfort and warmth similar to how old-fashioned house would be.

As she lay in bed dying in what her mind may be a peaceful death, is disturbed by the presence of the fly disrupting the serenity of the room comparing that disturbance to the moment to the stillness in the air just before the storm.
