Emily Dickinson - There came a Wind like a Bugle --

There came a Wind like a Bugle --
It quivered through the Grass
And a Green Chill upon the Heat
So ominous did pass
We barred the Windows and the Doors
As from an Emerald Ghost --
The Doom's electric Moccasin
That very instant passed --
On a strange Mob of panting Trees
And Fences fled away
And Rivers where the Houses ran
Those looked that lived -- that Day --
The Bell within the steeple wild
The flying tidings told --
How much can come
And much can go,
And yet abide the World!

Dickinsons uses a plethora of laguage technique to evoke the devastating storm. The mood changes quite allot of times. The mood in the beginning was a suspenseful mood however the mood develops into a ominous and painful mood in halfway and concludes with a melancholy and solemn mood

Cited by the English journalist Paul Johnson as saying the last word on the myth of global warming and much else besides. ("A time for American poets to speak out in warning" The Spectator - 21 February 2009). But he does say previously "If I could only have one American poet on my desert island I would surely pick Emerald Emily, as I call her, because she shines so brightly and greenly" so not all senior comment then :-)
