Emily
The poem is about god; her exploring religion, searching for god. A poem can have different meanings to everyone, even to young jacko. He took what he wanted from the poem; which by the way was completely immature. Nonetheless it was your opinion of the meaning of this freaking amazing poem. I always thought that Dickinson's poem were not so easy to understand. One's has to read it multiple times to get the true meaning behind. Most times one does, other times one doesn't. Her poems can have quite a few different meaninhs. Most of her work though, was about nature, death, and religion. Valuing nature, accepting death, and exploring religion.

I hope you're not a complete loser, Jack, but you talk like an ignorant frat-boy. What business have you with a beautiful poem like "I've Seen a Dying Eye", which searches for a glimpse of God (like most of Dickinson's poems).

the poem "Ive seen a Dying Eye" correlates to the youth of Emily Dickinson and to the lives of the people that follow her poetry. She had no life and was a complete loser. Her only companion was her hand and her father who used her a lot.
