Views of death is a recurring theme in literature today‚ and in James Russell Lowell’s poem “The First Snowfall” and Emily Dickinson’s poem “The Bustle in a House”‚ both show a different viewpoint to a loved one’s death. In the poem “The First Snowfall”‚ the narrator begins his explanation of snow‚ but the reader does not know the true meaning behind the narrator’s

In Poem #508 of Emily Dickinson’s‚ the speaker depicted a scene in which they were being baptized and then crowned. This poem takes on the form of a narrative in which the speaker described how she received her name‚ without her awareness as an infant and soon when she got a glimpse of the world around her‚ she realized that she has the will to choose. As Adrienne Rick‚ the author of “Vesuvius at Home: The Power of Emily Dickinson‚" described it‚ it is an “imagery of being "twice-born" or‚ in Christian

Prose by definition is writing that is not poetry. “I dwell in Possibility- A fairer House than Prose” (Dickinson 879).

Dickinson also manages to write her poems with a specific metre to bring attention to the themes of her work. It quickly becomes clear that it’s difficult to come across her works that don’t revolve around the theme of isolation.

Emily Dickinson‚ a female poet from Amherst‚ Massachusetts‚ was born in the 19th century.
