emily dickinson

due to the passages i have read i would not call emily dickinson a trancenedentalist writer. she has very insighful thoughts about nature and the human mind but i do not think that she has the same feal as the transendentalists do. She has a more harsh tone to her, speaking about "funeral in my brain" and "my letter to the world that never wrote to me". my favorite poem in this set is the last one, xvii, she talks about how she has never seen the sea but she still knows about it. this is a metaphor for how just because people cant see things doesnt mean that they know nothing about it. i do not think that dickinson is a trancendentalist but she does have some very valuable insights on life.

"and to such as it is to be of these more or less i am, and of these one and all i weave the song of myself"-the whole entire had me very very confused but this last sentence ties it all together in a way that clears up my confusion. the whole entrie is talking about different people doing different things, dind the end i came to the conclusion that these were people that he had come in contact with one way or another that had an impact on him that helped shape him because in the end in the last sentence he pretty much says these things make up me.

"in the past and present wilt-i have filled them,emptied them.and proceed to fill my next fold dof the future" - i like this quote because in my words it says, ive have done all that i need to do with the past and present and now i need to focus on the future, i like the idea of keeping your head facing forward and never looking back.

"I bequeath myself to the dirt and grow from teh grass i love, if you want me again look for me under your boot-soles"-this is my favorite quote from these three selections. this is talking about how he is going to biodegrade into and become a part of the world he loves in a very literal sense.

"i should be pleasedd to meet a man in the woods i wish he were to be encountered like a wild caribous mouse'"-this quote is completely beyond me and i have absolutely not idea what he is talking about. usually i am into insightful things like this but i feel that this quote reallly describes these journal entries, confusing random thoughts.
the rest of these entires have not changed, boring, random, the usuall
