Emily Dickinson Love Themes
655 wordsLove Theme's in Emily Dickinson's Poetry In evaluating Emily Dickinson's biography and poems, I surmised that excluding the love of father, brother, and her deceased nephew, Emily's knowledge of romantic love, by first-hand experience, is questionable. The pure-of-mind reader may believe that what familiarity she had about love matters might have been based mainly on her extensive reading of literature. Emily was an avid reader and was particularly fond of, among others, Ralph Waldo Emerson and ...

Life After Death Fly Buzz When I Died
726 wordsEmily Dickinson's poems, Because I Could Not Stop For Death and I Heard A Fly Buzz-When I Died, are both about one of life's few certainties, death. However, that is where the similarities end. Although Dickinson wrote both poems, their ideas about what lies after death differ. In one, there appears to be life after death, but in the other there is nothing. A number of clues in each piece help to determine which poem believes in what. The clues in I heard a Fly buzz-when I died, point to a disbe...

Love And Death As Viewed By Emily Dickinson
575 wordsOf all the poetry I have read in my entire English career, never have I read a poet who has compared love and death so well. Not only does she grab the readers attention using so few words, after her poem is over, the reader is left with many possibilities as to what it is that Emily Dickinson meant. Her ideas about love and death were shared in many of her poems, including The Bustle in the House. At times her poems almost seem to tell the reader that death is acceptable as long as one has love...

Literature Resource Center Emily Dickinson
1,305 wordsBecause I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves And Immortality. We slowly drove, he knew no haste 5 And I had put away My labor, and my leisure too, For his civility. We passed the school where children played Their lessons scarcely done; 10 We passed the fields of gazing grain, We passed the setting sun. We paused before a house that seemed A swelling of the ground; The roof was scarcely visible, 15 The cornice but a mound. Since then t is cen...

Safe In Their Alabaster Chambers Safe In Their Alabaster Dead

They are sealed in, closed off from time and the world, by the oppressive weight of rafter and roof. The second stanza lists some of the joys of a summer day: the breeze laughs, the bees buzz, the birds sing. Thei...
