  • Emily Dickinson On Drugs - 324 words
    Emily Dickinson On Drugs? Emily Dickinson's poems often make me ponder her mental stability. Sometimes I wonder if she was psychotic or on some kind of mind-altering drugs. In Dickinson's poems "I felt a funeral in my brain," "My life closed twice before its close," and "Because I could not stop for Death," we shall see whether or not Mr. J's theory of her insanity stands true. In the piece "I felt a funeral in my brain," she views her own funeral in her head. At one point she thought, "My mind was going numb;" now I strongly believe that one has to be on "crack" to write a line like this. "Then Space-began to toll;" I don't believe Emily Dickinson graduated from the D.A.R.E. program because ...

  • Enigma Of Death - 1,633 words
    Enigma Of Death "Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings." Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus, 65-8 B.C.) Death eventually comes to everyone, and yet it is a phenomenon shrouded in mystery. Scholars and scientists try to understand it, philosophers pose theories and conclusions about it, artists try to capture it between streaks of paint across a canvas, while poets like Emily Dickinson explore it's meaning and influence through verse. Death is like an outward rush into the unknown where there is nothing recognizable and nothing to cling to. The unknown is always feared, and since nothing is known about death or an afterlife, people fear ...
