Buzzing Of A Fly
1,006 wordsGeoff Eng 219 3/4/00 The Fly and #465 Emily Dickinson in her poem #465, covers the subject of death in a way that I have not seen before. She delves right into the last sounds she heard when the narrator died, which was a fly buzzing.

And now, in the midst of this silence, Emily chooses to introduce the buzzing of a fly. This common household pest's incessant buzz becomes al...

The first stanza is very much about desc...

Last Stanza Of The Poem
1,526 wordsJames Dickey's "On the Hill Below the Lighthouse" best reminds me of the Lord Alfred Tennyson. Upon first reading Dickey's poem, a deep yearning and sentimental emotion is achieved. There is a great sense of not regret but of something that the narrator longs for. This can be seen in the last stanza of the poem. "Now that I can be sure of my sleep; The moon is held strongly within it. A woman comes true when I think her. Shade swings, and she lies against me. Let us lie in the returning light; L...

Poem The Author
283 wordsPoem Analysis In Lake Isle of Innisfree, the author becomes inspired to write the poem while walking down a street. The sound of a water fountain captures his attention, and he begins to drift of in a daydream. In this poem the author uses many literary devices to show that this is a place that he would much rather be.
