a healthy, enjoyable life, it is crucial to choose a society wisely. Emily Dickinson displays this concept in her poem “The Soul Selects Her Own Society” by explaining that she only needs to choose one person to associate herself with and after that she can close herself to the rest of the world. Dickinson states, “Choose One – then – close the Valves of her attention – like stone” (Dickinson 220). In saying this, Dickinson cultivates the idea that once a small society is chosen there is no more…

Charlotte Mew (1869-1928) is the first selected woman poet in this study. Writing in the last decade of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth, Mew’s poetry straddles the fin de siècle and early modernist periods. Thus Victorian and feminist approaches are used in examining her poetry. Mew's poetic voice is an integral link in women's writing from the end of the nineteenth century into the first two decades of the twentieth century in that it enables contemporary…

Emily Dickinson’s relationship with her faith is epitomized in her, “This World is not Conclusion”. In order to convey her complicated religious affiliation, Dickinson created three sections in her poem. Each section details a stage in her transformation from pious to agnostic. Dickinson uses both, subliminal poetic mechanics – such as punctuation and structure – and obvious literary techniques – such as personification and rhyme schemes – to fully describe this transformation in only twenty…

order. This power is lodged in the Parliament; and we are as much dependent on Great Britain as a perfectly free people can be on another” (Dickinson). John Dickinson was a patriot until 1776, when he started to question if the colonists really needed to break away from England. He supported colonial rights, but did not support independence from Britain. Dickinson was one out of many that did not want to separate from England in the 1760s and 1770s. Independence was avoidable during this time…

Linguistic Analysis of Poems by Emily Dickinson INTRODUCTION Linguistic Analysis deals with the scientific analysis or study of language. It includes at the very least one of the five branches of linguistics: Phonology, Morphology, Semantics, Syntax and Pragmatics. Linguistic Analysis can be used to determine the historical connection between distinct languages from different locations of the world. But the fact that languages can vary vastly depending upon the region, and hence accurately…

While Emily Dickinson and Ralph Waldo Emerson do draw from various wellsprings of motivation, their written work, their speculations and thoughts behind composing, and the way they wind up showing themselves are in fact comparative from multiple points of view. Dickinson shows some impact of introspective philosophy Emerson discusses. Emerson contained three different central ideas that classified as requirements for a poet. They were composed of the relationship between the soul and the art of…

free verse poetry. In Dickinson 's poetry it reflects her loneliness in her life and most of the people in her poetry are in a state of want. These poets are very different and have really changed the direction of poetry over time. Whitman and Dickinson poems are similar yet very different at the same time. In Walt Whitman 's poem, "A Child Said, What is the Grass," Whitman takes about the major theme death and how in nature there is always death. This is similar to Emily Dickinson 's poem, “I…

The title at 39 is very significant and could be interpreted as the age she wrote this poem or at what age her father died. She explains the situation her father is in at that point in time which is very important to her, this poem is written in free verse and short lines. The poem is not very structured so it seems like she is thinking about this rather than writing it, flowing from one thought to another and finally coming to a conclusion. By repeating the phrase ‘’How I miss my father’’(1)…

I have selected two poems. First poem is “Reality” and other poem is “Die before you die”. These poems are written by Rabia Al Basri. First I will talk about the poem “Reality”. Rabia al-Basri lived in the eighth century in Basra, Iraq, and is generally thought to be the first female Sufi saint. There are numerous fascinating myths surrounding her life, however there doesn't appear to be any definitive story for her. What does appear to be certain is that she never married, and that she instead…
