"Of mansions never quite disclosed
And never quite concealed
The Apparatus of the Dark
To ignorance revealed."
This last stanza of Emily Dickinson's poem, "The Lightning is a yellow Fork," the mansion is a significant symbol that reveals the direction that Dickinson wants the reader's interpretation to move toward; the Lightening is from the heavens.
Mansion is the symbol that is synonymous with the heavens; "mansions in the sky" and other such expressions have been used throughout time to equate heaven as being as wonderful as living in a mansion.
