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.
