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.

absolutely, goos likewise it has a very deep meaning,,,
it might be so short but the message behind those short and little words
has big impact on me,,,

but i do appreciate the bueaty within the poem

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...

this is the worst poem i have ever read. and i should know because i have
written 10000 well written poems. emily dickinson was not very bright and
that is why it is not good!!

scanning her mutiple works, one may find that by certain reasons science
appears to be another preferable reference for emily dickinson beside, of
course, the Bible, Shakespeare's, and Emerson's.

in the last line of this poem, it says "As if the checks were given". but i
have looked at several sites and 13 out of 15 say CHART instead of CHECKS.
which one is correct??

we are always asking ourselves, 'is this true?" and Emily answers for us,
"yet certain I am... " and she expresses her faith in what she knows.
To those of us who are uncertain of what we know Emily brings confidence
and comfort.
and to learn her story of an isoated,single, woman of the 18th century
whose mind could help us understand our minds is a joy. She makes me
confident that the human race can create, achieve, and keep faith with
itself. Bless her.

Dickinson's oppinion is that you can worship
God by yourself. Religion is a personal matter to her and it is not wrong
that she feels this way.

Emily's religious beliefs remain to some extent a point of speculation.
Some of her poems indicate one way, some another. Yet I don't see that as
surprising at all. Who on Earth has the same beliefs about God, faith and
the Universe his or her entire life? Emily's constant struggle and search
meant that she was not a devoted fundamentalist like so many around her in
those days - that instead, she doubted, evaluated, and sought what SHE
thought made sense. Yet she went to church somewhat regularly, she read the
Bible and knew it practically by heart. Altogether, by today's standards,
she would definitely be called a Christian.
Regardless of her personal beliefs at the time though, this poem
illustrates in a piercingly accurate way the way faith works. As someone
above noted; she bought a ticket to Philadelphia on the good faith that it
was an existing place. The exact same goes for people of faith where heaven
is concerned, whether she believed in her own poem's conclusion at the time
or not.
To me, it is both one of the most mystifying as well as clarifying poems I
can think of, and certainly among her best for it.
