The point of this peom is approaching hope as a symbol of fate. And can be
within different people as well as shown in numberaus limitations. Pointing
out the fact that hope, in one person can be much higher than another...

I have just begun studying Emily Dickinson for my Leaving Cert (the most
soul destroying of Irish exams!) and I was slightly confused by this poem.
Although the poets actual content seems positve, I can't help feeling that
there's an underlying sadness. The way the last lines are punctuated, the
discription of hope using a negative "never" and the use of the word "yet"
lead me to believe this. My teacher obviously disagrees. Am I just wrong?

"Hope" is an angel...here to save us all from despair.

This poem has guided me through many troubled times. I have it memorized
and posted on my wall at work. It's great to see it in its original form
here, Emily capitalized and punctuated her poetry in unconventional ways
and in part, thereby conveyed her unconventional genius. This is the most
beautiful and powerful definition of hope that I have ever seen.

I could have misunderstood the context of this poem, but I always
associated it with my mother, who passed away from cancer 3 years ago.We
even read this poem as part of her eulogy. It seemed to capture her spirit
and the reasons she lived for...to help those around her be brave.

Our recent presidential candidate's wife quoted this poem from her girlhood
memories, on the TODAY Show on 11/21/04. She was visiting with Ms. Couric.

I really like this poem. It's my favorite and I think that it's really
deep. Emily Dickinson must have had a intricate outlook on life to be able
to write such a masterpiece.
