Dickinson's Poems On Pain
5,959 wordsClean th Brooks and Robert Penn Warren ["After great pain, a formal feeling comes"] is obviously an attempt to communicate to the reader the nature of the experience which comes "after great pain". The poet is using the imagery for this purpose, and the first line of the poem, which states the subject of the poem, is the only abstract statement in the poem.

Dickinson was a female writer who lived in America and wrote during the mid to late 1800's, and her poem reflects the impact that both the Civil War and the War of 1812 had on people living through that era.
