The two poems that I chose to compare are both written by Emily Dickenson; the first poem is “A Narrow Fellow in the Grass,” and the second is “[The Brain- is wider than the Sky].” These poems were written 4 years apart, the first coming in 1862, and the second was written in 1866.

Emily Dickinson Nesmith’s reasoning for the fly made perfect sense. The fly was a normal occurrence, or annoyance, in this part of her life. He sums up the fly’s presence by saying, “Even during significant events, life goes on, much of it rather mundane” (Nesmith, 1939). Dickinson was writing about her death.
