How does ―he‖ eats, drink, play and refuse ―my‖ crumb‖ and fly away. It seems that she wants to make friends with the bird but is refused softly. This poem shows Emily‘s opinion about nature‘s inscrutability and indifference to the interests of human beings .Her genuine affection for nature can be sensed tremendously in it. Her heightened sensitivity and intelligence have given her new and original perspective in nature.
My river runs to thee－10is also Emily Dickinson‘s typical example on nature. In it the poetess expresses her eagerness to embrace with nature.
My River runs to thee－ Blue sea! Wilt welcome me? My River Waits reply－ Oh sea－ look graciously－ I‘ll fetch thee Brooks From spotted nooks--- Say –sea—Take Me!
In this poem, the poetess imagines herself as the river and gives nature its own personality. The river wants to get into the sea and waits the admission. The last line reveals the poetess‘ eagerness and passion to get together with the sea. She requires the sea to accept ―her‖, because the sea also likes the river ―look graciously ―at the ―river‖.
Little stone11 is another Emily Dickinson‘s typical example on
nature.
How happy is the little stone That ramble in the Road alone, And doesn‘t care about careers And exigencies never fears--- Whose Coat of elemental Brown A passing Universe put on, And independent as the sun Associates or glows alone, Fulfilling absolute Decree In casual simplicity---
Little stone12 is much like Emily Dickinson‘s personal monologue. In this poem, she gives the little stone a lot of vivid personality, such as ―happy, rambles, fears and independent‖. But after reading this poem for several times, I deeply and clearly find that Emily Dickinson doesn‘t just write little stone, but herself. Like the little stone that is ―independent as the sun Associates or glows alone‖, Emily Dickinson withdraw from the society and lived almost all her life in self-imposed seclusion. She seldom touches the civil war or other great national events, but focus on the permanent themes of life and death, love and lovers, the reflection of beauty or mystery of nature and meditation on religion. Part III 4 religion
Emily Dickinson also writes some poems about her doubt and belief about religious subject. While she desires salvation and immorality, she denied the orthodox view if paradise. Although she believes in God, she sometimes doubts His benevolence.
I know that He exists13 is one of her poems about God‘s existence. I know that He exists Somewhere --- in Silence --- He has hid his rare life From our grass eyes.
?Tis an instant‘s play ?Tis a fond Ambush--- Just to make Bliss Ear her own surprise!
But --- should the play Prove piercing earnest--- In death‘s --- stiff---stare.
Would not the fun Look too expensive! Would not the jest ---
Have crawled too far!
It is her early poem. In this poem, she is suspicious about the God‘s existence, but not quit sure. She begins with ―I know that He exists in somewhere‖, but where, she never sees him, so she comfort herself that we can‘t see him from our ―gross eyes‖. He is ―a fond Ambush‖. She writes ―Should the glee－glaze－In Death‘s stiff－stare‖. Maybe when we die and go to the heaven we can see him, but she thinks in order to see God she should be dead. It‘s ―too expensive‖ and the jest God made to people is too big.
As she grew older, she was not quite able to conceive a God; she nevertheless tried to imagine what he might be and what his responsibility for his creatures on earth was. As she grew older and became increasingly confirmed in her independence of mind she continued to wrestle with the same question, but the residue of hopeful belief became slighter, such as the poem Faith is a fine invention14
Faith is a fine invention When Gentleman can see- But Microscopes are prudent In an Emergency
In this poem, the poetess expresses her attitude toward God. It‘s just a ―Faith‖ God doesn‘t exist .When emergency appeared, God is prudent to
