Emily Dickinson’s Poem Review

I applaud Emily Dickinsons choice of art over real life although I dont think the two are mutually exclusive. While I cannot presume to know whether she had doubts about this herself or whether she had other problems that prevented her from living real life, I can clearly see that her life inside her drumhead was very rich. By choosing art, Emily Dickinson has left us with a wealth of succinct poems with very all-important(a) themes. especially stunning is Much Madness is Divinest Sense. In that poem, she perfectly recaps the idea of majority rule.If genius agrees with the majority, one is sane. If not, one is dangerous and wrong. This is such a short and simple poem that covers so many times in our lives and current events. There are so many examples of the majority doing the wrong thing, want slavery. Another important theme is contained in If You Were Coming in the Fall. This poem discusses the difficulty or utter torture of hold for well-nigh uncertain future. One can wai t much more easily if there is some kind of certainty or date at the end. But now, all ignorant of the lengthOf times uncertain wing, It goads me, like the goblin bee, That will not state its sting. (Dickinson) The longer one waits, the more painful it becomes. It stings as Dickinson says. However, Dickinson says that wait without that certainty is nothing but torture. This theme is universal. And yet, another important theme is contained in Hope is the occasion with Feathers. Dickinson gives herself and everyone else the claim that hope is always present in life. Hope is always with us it perches in our souls.It neer asks anything of the reader just remains in our hearts to keep us warm. Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a backside of me (Dickinson). Again this is a very profound lesson contained in a brief poem. Who knows what the effect would have been if Dickinson had elect to have a husband and family or an active social life? The point is that the choice was hers, and s he make it. Personally, I relish her choice as I think she gives us so many words to live by. For those who dont like poetry all that much, she is simple and straightforward and yet, very profound.
