Emily Dickinson’s “Eden is that Old-fashioned House” is a very short, yet interesting poem. This poem alone describes Dickinson’s poetry style in great detail. It’s calm and mild, yet relatively depressing and sad. Dickinson talks about how the home is not the house itself, but the people around it. She refers to the Garden of Eden, and how that was the first “home” ever. She compares it to the home she lives in now, and how it as has been around in her family for a long time. The title “Eden is that Old-fashioned house” directly translates to Emily comparing her old-fashioned home that her and her relatives have lived in forever to the Garden of Eden because of how long it was in existence.
