Dickinson Questions

In Dickinson’s poem 320 [258] on page 2567, what is contradictory about the expression “Heavenly Hurt� in the second stanza? What do you think Dickinson is trying to express through this apparent contradiction? What effect does this hurt have? How could a “Slant of light� hurt?
