I believe, that the author, Dickinson, tried to get her point across about death and loneliness, in her poems. They were well written, and gave me personally something to think about. I think, that by thinking of solitude in death, gave her a sense of safety, allowing her to write as well as she did. All in all, a great poem.

Emily Dickinson is depicting the world within one's mind compared with that of reality. In the poem There is a Solitude of Space, she says that the sea, death and space are only solace for those which need others to thrive, such as society for a society consists of many individuals. A profounder sighting, one which would mean more to her, is one where she is the only person, within that interaction, one with itself, one might find the meaning of life, existence and learn self truth. The last line, finite infinity literally means defined endlessness, like that of the mind or the soul, for although one can call it by the english language it is still perpetual.

There Is a solitude of space
This poem describes a inner loneliness that puts you in your own world
like Dickerson decribes as she says “compared with that profounder site that polar
privacy”. Futermore she depicts something that is always alone has no ending,
“a soul admitted to itself finite infinity”. People personally could relate to this
poem if their new to a school or area as Dickerson describes “there is solitude of
space”. within yourself .
