Abstract
There is a similarity between ED's poetry and Levinas's philosophy in that both depend on experience and reject the principle of unity - the main tenet of romantic thought. The paper discusses interiority, which is a key aspect of ED's work. The I discovers itself in enjoyment of the elemental and realizes its selfhood by withdrawal in the home, which is a realm of absolute, happy independence, provides shelter, and mediates between the I and nature. The home is conceived in different ways in ED's poems but always remains a primary frame of reference.
