There must be whole people here, but all we hear about are "The Eyes." When a part of something is made to stand in for the whole thing like this, we call that synecdoche. It's a neat way for her to give a little detail that our imaginations can turn into an entire story. When she says that "The Eyes around – had wrung them dry – " we know a number of things immediately. There are other people here. They love this dying person enough to cry. They are also beyond crying – maybe exhausted, maybe finally at peace with what is happening. One line, and we get a whole scene, a whole emotional and physical landscape. That's why Emily Dickinson is awesome.
