Analysis and comments on We learned the Whole of Love -- by Emily Dickinson

Comment 3 of 3, added on October 1st, 2007 at 6:29 PM.

As far as analyzing this poem, I would say it's about when you find someone
you love, they complete you, thus the title the WHOLE of Love.

I'm a big fan of Emily's. I like how much symbolism she uses, so reading a
poem is like figuring out a puzzle. That's what's so great about classic
poetry: Any one word can stand for six million other things!
