This is my letter to the world, Analysis
Author: Poetry of Emily Dickinson Type: Poetry Views: 5452
 |
This is my letter to the world,
That never wrote to me,--
The simple news that Nature told,
With tender majesty.
Her message is committed
To hands I cannot see;
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me!

The themes deal with alienation and loneliness, as well as art and the experience nature and the world itself provides. I don't understand why we're all at each other's throats. Poetry is meant to be understood in different ways, and opinions aren't always supposed to be identical.

Ok, let's start with the title, "this is my letter to the world" someone is speaking to us we don’t know who this is. In line two the "world", meaning humans never wrote to her. "News that Nature told" this means the things around us is prove of her letter. Second stanza, first line we can tell the persona is a female. In the third line the hands of the female are invincible, why? Because she uses mysterious powers to create and destroy and that’s why the last lines the speaker ends with (7-8)"lover her-sweat countrymen judge tender of me". My conclusion is we as individuals are “countrymen” because we live in her land and "she" is Mother Nature.

u guys are going tooo deep. this coud simply be about the world" everyone" not communicating with the narrator(not nessecarily emily) it says nature (or could it be a spacific person, nature is a spacific part of the world) she learns something she wants the world who would nopt listen, listen for once, because she has something important to say," love your sweet countrymen, judge tenderly of me" when thinking of nature tender is first to come to mind. so... a tender kind person told her she needs to lover her countrymen( native of land is the correct def.) and in return they will judge tenderly of her. wha la. not so hard. dont get burried in ur thoughts and go off track.

Wow, look at all the idiots here, try to understand the great poems she writes and you might just be a little better off. I pity you all for not seeing and understanding her work. You are truly missing out. Go watch another action movie with no plot why don't you.
To the others that understand poetry, it's a treat to see you here. The world needs more people like you.

this is such a dumb poem i ripped this out of the book and whipped my bum with it. why are we still talking about her she died well over 100 hundred years ago this is worthless history. this does not have anything to do with America and its history.

In my song, 'Emily', I've tried to convey my analysis of Emily's poem, via each chorus, which reflects on the lines she's x felt a lonely school girl bond to her poetry when I was very young. And, also wondered if the world would 'judge tenderly of me'

.besides this being a gentle reminder that each one has something worthwhile to say, it is also the reminder that one who may seem as a nobody also speaks of importance. (one that would be deemed insignificant by the masses)
she so typically used the metered rhyme scheme to convey quickly some of her deepest thoughts. this poem is no exception to her styled writing with a dash of hope is still left to the reader.

what i don't understand is how some people can say this is meaningless, and mock her work. she may have had troubles, but it lead to GREAT poetry, as this one. (from my view of this piece) she tries to fit in, and understand the world, but it some ways, the world has not answered her. the world has been cruel, and she asks for no more harsh criticism from it. she wants them to let her case be, while atttempting to understand her. if that makes any sense...[it does in my head]

I think this goes well with "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman. It's two totally different points of view-but it's still good to read them together. It's kind of impowering.

this poem is about how she wants the world to judge her tenderly. She wants to communicate with the world and be loved, but she does not recieve the same.

this poem is about her desire to belong but her fear of being judged prevents her from doing so
she fears her letter, ie her poetry, will be judged harshly
she wants to share wonderful news like any skilled
artist does but still fears the idea of being judged
harshly by critics
this poem is about the act of writing itslef

This is for the last message...
Uh, NO!
YOU ARE TOTALLY WRONG ABOUT "I HEARD A FLY BUZZ WHEN I DIED!"
That poem shows how she feels about death, which is indifferent; That death is not important to her.
As for this poem, she is asking for tender jugdement of her.
So yeah.

This is one of my favorite poems by her. Shes talking about being judged. She is basically saying "you dont know me, so do judge me". But somebody said something about this showing how religious she is...she wasn't a very regligious person at all. If you read "I herd a fly buzz when I died" she says that she dies, and after that there is nothing, that she doesn't believe in an afterlife. Just thought I would point that out

I think this poem speaks of Emily's own death: "The simple news that nature told, with tender majesty". She then asks, humbly, not to be judged harshly -- which is surely something we all ask?

Basically she is saying she is secluded and the world doesn't reach out to her. She doesn't want to be judged harshly for seperating herself from the world, she just wants to belong.

For a school assignment, I had to read several of Emily Dickinsons poems. This is probably the only poem I could understand w/o searching for an analysis. I think what she means here is that she relates more to outside world than to the world with trouble. She feels comfortable the way she is and she wants the letter to say that to the world. I could tell that she is a very religious person, and this is proving that.

Emily Dickinson was a recluse and therefore this poem fits to the situation she's buried w/in. She feels she is and outcast from society, from the world...the world has never given her a hand or helped her brave the unknown of which she missed. She relates more to nature than the modern world in which she lived in, she's more tuned to the primitiveness of the long forgotten, the only thing that can ever listen to any soul...
"Her message is committed
To hands I cannot see;
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me!"
Throughout the whole poem the meter has been a 4-3-4, except, L3 she changes the beat from 7-6-7-6 to 7-6-8-6...to me, "for love of her, sweet countrymen" is almost a sarcastic plea to the world...for they have destroyed nature to make what they are today, and they will destroy her the way they destroyed the only thing that listened to her...
The last stanza is almost a hopeless plea..

this is such a touching piece that screams longing. most poets lay their feeling out for so many to criticize. besides this being a gentle reminder that each one has something worthwhile to say, it is also the reminder that one who may seem as a nobody also speaks of importance. (one that would be deemed insignificant by the masses)
she so typically used the metered rhyme scheme to convey quickly some of her deepest thoughts. this poem is no exception to her styled writing with a dash of hope is still left to the reader.
