Emily Dickinson - I never saw a Moor --

I never saw a Moor --
I never saw the Sea --
Yet know I how the Heather looks
And what a Billow be.

I never spoke with God
Nor visited in Heaven --
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the Chart were given --

emily dickinson's writings are obviously good if they are still studied today. she lived a very secluded life but was still very aware of her surroundings. It's proven in her poems. Also, you cannot say people from the 1800's were not bright. Society needs to read all the imoprtant things that happened then that still help us today.

unfortunately for you, you might not be a published writer, i wouldnt know, but i think that her poems are deep and actually have meaning unlike some othr poems i have read
Sure, she is not bright
she lived in th 1800's for gods sake
who was bright back then?

but then again thats just my opinion...
i really like it...
