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!

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?

.: My thoughts :.

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..

.: my thoughts :.

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.
