  • on The sky is low, the clouds are mean, by Emily Dickinson, 1 day ago
    First stanza- Th sky is low and clouds are mean ( thundering and dark perhaps- denotes a quarrel atmosphere). A flake of snow (rumours) travels across the barn( the house she is in ) and through a rut (public places) and it may arise to debates, which they don not know whether it will end.

    Second stanza- A narrow wind complains all day, how it was mistreated. Nature like them (the poet and his friends), is sometimes caught without their royal integrity(diadem), maybe found crying or complaining.

  • on The show is not the show, by Emily Dickinson, 1 day ago
    The show was not the usual one, that people go to. It was a menagrie (group of unsual people) to the poet. And the neighbour be ( neighbour was similar to the menagrie show). And it was fair enough they both (the poet and the neighbour ) went to see the show.

  • on The pedigree of honey by Emily Dickinson, 1 day ago
    This poem is a contemplation on ancestral line perhaps.

    The lineage of honey(wealth) is not of concern to the bee (normal people). But the clover (symbol of luxury and wealth) is aristocracy to him (could be his father).

  • on The only ghost I ever saw by Emily Dickinson, 1 day ago
    The poem perhaps speaks about the poet's friend in delusion form or may be a spirit.

    First stanza- The only ghost she ever saw was dressed in good clothes (from mechlin). He wore no sandals on his foot (probably resides in house). He gently stepped in, like the snow flakes and his gait was soundless as if hovering like the bird. But rapidly happening like the roe(eggs). His fashions was old-fashioned, a mixed fashion or modern.

    Second stanza- He seldom spoke and his laughter was warm and that which disappears at the dimple, among his meditating mind. Their interview was transient and he was very shy of her. And God forbid it, but she is thinking of the ghost, since that frightening (perhaps sarcastic as she likes the ghost) day.
