What the HELL is this poem supposed to mean? I am supposed to write a page on how she gives nature personality which isn't that hard, I just can't find anywhere she describes nature. I wrote about a half a page of fluff but I need sine help. WHERE DOES IT GIVE NATURE PERSONALITY IN THIS POS POEM!!! (ignore the numbers) A NARROW fellow in the grass Occasionally rides; You may have met him,—did you not? His notice sudden is. The grass divides as with a comb, 5 A spotted shaft is seen; And then it closes at your feet And opens further on. He likes a boggy acre, A floor too cool for corn. 10 Yet when a child, and barefoot, I more than once, at morn, Have passed, I thought, a whip-lash Unbraiding in the sun,— When, stooping to secure it, 15 It wrinkled, and was gone. Several of nature’s people I know, and they know me; I feel for them a transport Of cordiality; 20 But never met this fellow, Attended or alone, Without a tighter breathing, And zero at the bone.
[QUOTE="Radiantmime"]I don't hate poetry so much as I hate how twisted Emily Dickenson was and how it reflects in her poetry. I just don't understand her.yermomsboxx
Meh...not my favorite poet either, but talented nonetheless. You could say so, but I am a big Robert Frost fan.
