I taste a liquor never brewed Analysis
Author: Poetry of Emily Dickinson Type: Poetry Views: 4729
 |
I taste a liquor never brewed,
From tankards scooped in pearl;
Not all the vats upon the Rhine
Yield such an alcohol!
Inebriate of air am I,
And debauchee of dew,
Reeling, through endless summer days,
From inns of molten blue.
When the landlord turn the drunken bee
Out of the foxglove's door,
When butterflies renounce their drams,
I shall but drink the more!
Till seraphs swing their snowy hats,
And saints to windows run,
To see the little tippler
Leaning against the sun!

I feel the ending stanza illustrates Emily finding almost a religion through nature. It shows widows running towards the church, while the angels "seraphs" are swinging there snowy hats, depicting a colder feel to the angels which are looking down onto Emily while she basks merrily immersed leaning drunkenly against the warm sun.

Hi, i just did a project on this for english, it means, i think that she can get high off of life, and find a love of life without liquor or drugs. She is simple. She loves life.

This is a very confusing poem. I would love to understand what Emily is trying to say. This poem has a meaning and the reason why I can tell that it does is because she is talking bout herself and nature.

"From inns of molten blue sky" means that the sky is her bar, people drink for their bar, but she breaths from the sky.

I and a small group had to analyze this poem.
What we understood is that she is 'drunk' offof life and nature.
the tankards are large mugs with lids and they are made of pearl. In refrence to the Rhine, a river in Germany, and Germany is known for their alcohol she is saying that what she is drunk of, is better than anything from Germany.
Then in the next stanza she is saying she is drunk from air and dew, meaning of nature.
She is living in what summer days are, warm and easy going. We thought that the line 'From inns of Molten Blue' refers to comming out of a sadder emotion, a depresstion of sorts but now she is happy.
Then unlike the bees and butterflies that have a limit on how much they drink from foxgloves, she does not.
The last stanza refers to that she will not stop drinking until she dies and does not need to drink anymore.

The summary given below sucks. I'm sorry but what i got out of it was totally different. She's not drunk. She's drunk off of life. Maybe your teacher interpreted it wrong, i dont know, but it's not right. the tankard isn't filled with flowers, it's a pearl mug but it's a symbol of the story. there's no indian summer. nothing came to an end. i did lots of research and the below is just not right. sorry.

This is a nice brief summary of this poem, I taste a Liquor Never Brewed...although, it can be explained a bit more in detail for the people who are for instance, researching on this author and/or their poetry. Otherwise, this was pretty well explained summary. Thanks...it helped me a bit as well! A few other people have visited this site and reviewed this summary and found it very helpful. When i mentioned it should contain more details, i meant that it should explain more parts of this poem instead of what lines meant what and where they were mentioned. The whole object should be explained in full detail.

This is what i got from my lit class..
This poem is a reaction to "indian Summer" and it coming to an end.
The first line is a paradox so you know she (Emily Dickonson) is not talking about alcohol because it is not possible.
The second line form "tankards" is a beer mug full of "Pearls" which are really nice smelling flowers.
The 5th line is telling us that she is drunk off the air "inebriate" and that she has no restraint on her self "Debauche"
The last two line in this stanza she is telling us how she goes through the long summer days in "inns of molten blue" the sky molten gives a very vivid colour
