Emily Dickinson

EMILY DICKINSON AND DEATH Emily Dickinson compresses a great deal of meaning into a very small number of words. This can make her poems hard to understand on a first reading, but when their meaning does unveil itself, it often explodes in the mind all at once, and lines that seemed baffling can become intensely and unforgettably clear. She however seems to have an obsession with death which is a theme reoccurs in most of her poems. In her poem Unreturning (14), she personifies the death of a little child to a little boat that lost it's way at sea (personification), " 'Twas such a little, little boat" she said that the "greedy, greedy wave" beckoned it away.
