William Austin Dickinson

Where “C33” is exemplary as one of Crane’s earliest works, “The Broken Tower” is notable in that it is the last work he wrote before his suicide, published posthumously. It offers a different solution to the same conflict, and reads like a suicide note instead of a eulogy. The bell-rope that gathers God at dawn Dispatches me as though I dropped down the knell Of a spent day - to wander the cathedral lawn From pit to crucifix, feet chill on steps from hell (1.1-4). Crane is being sent out into…

explore a central theme with an artistic edge. Emily Dickinson’s 1863 poem Because I could not stop for Death conveys the idea of succumbing to mortality without putting up an act of defiance; Death is just a purveyor of eternal rest and quietude. Dickinson also illustrates that everyone must transcend mortality and head “towards eternity" at one point as death is inevitable for all humans, and reluctance is unnecessary. Dylan Thomas’ 1951 poem Do not go gentle into that good night is based on a…

Type of poem: The type of this poem is a lyrical poem because the poem itself talks about the speaker’s feelings throughout and talks about the issues such as finding strength after something bad happens, race and ending sexism. Tone of poem: While reading this poem there were many emotions I was feeling such as being confident in yourself, having a positive self-esteem about everything that happens. In my opinion, the mood of the poem was deep because the poet used many poetic devices to…

Emily Dickinson, who had written many poems in her days. She is one of the authors who understand the definition of darkness. Her poems are mainly about the corner of darkness and how people should get used to the darkness over time. People who had eyesight took advantage of the gift of vision while others are incapable to even encounter it. There are many actions that people who had eyesight didn’t know what life's really current. Her poems can make you misinterpret the true meaning. Her poems…

While reading “Roman Fever” by Edith Wharton, I found myself stopping in order to understand, interpret and analyze the text. The first point at which I stopped reading occurred very early on in the story. In the first paragraph, I stopped at the words “lofty terrace” and “Palatine and Forum.” I stopped at these words and looked up pictures of these things in order to be able to envision an image as I read on. I also stopped at the word parapet because I was unsure of the meaning. When I…

have been haunted by the idea of death, but few as much as Emily Dickinson. Even a small sampling of Emily Dickinson 's poetry is enough to reveal that death is her main subject of focus. In fact, it could be argued that death finds it’s way into each and every poem Dickinson writes, as it is so prevalent of a theme throughout her writing, the main difference would be of how obvious this theme is to the reader of each poem. Emily Dickinson 's interest in death is often criticized as being…

Emily Dickinson is one of the most complex and misunderstood artists of all time. Students are taught that Dickinson is a woman who went crazy in her room and wrote thousands of talented poems. In reality, she’s a complex and unique person compared to almost all other people that her ideas and lifestyle were misunderstood. Dickinson’s level of writing in her letters and poems made it hard for anyone else to be able to understand her and communicate back effectively. This inability to relate to…

On close examination one may find a literary equivalent of anubhava in T.S. Eliot's principle of objective correlative. Lady Macbeth walking in her sleep is an example of angica or visual correlative whereas Macbeth's speech at the death of his wife is that of vachika or auditory correlative: What Eliot takes as the formula of a particular emotion is naturally the inevitable motive and manifestation of the emotional state. If the creator has a proper knowledge of human psychology, he shall…

Sunsets, evenings, a skeleton, sleep, anesthetic, gravestones, an old man or woman, a stopped clock, coffin, the depth of the see - the void, all of these, are symbols of death or the fear of it. What lies after death is an enigma to all of us, expect the cases when we had a near death experience. However, the archetype of death is not entirely in connection with the physical death. The archetype of death is about our observation of death in other beings; our cognition of it based on our…

Emily Dickinson is one of the most famous poets of early America. She wrote many poems during the Civil War and the period where many people were heading to the West. Death was prominent in society and much of her writing is about death. Her writing about death is different from that of authors because she writes casually about her own death as she would any other event in her life. She is not writing about her physical death, but rather a lack of life. Dickinson’s “It was not Death, for I stood…
