TWO answers are correct for the words marked below in Dickinson's poem; find both:

                            A thought went up my mind to-day
                            That I have had before,
                            But did not finish,--some way back,
                            I could not fix the year,

                            Nor where it went, nor why it came
                            The second time to me,
                            Nor definitely what it was,
                            Have I the art to say.
