the first stanza is short, and limited giving it a rhythm of breaths maby
acting as the last breaths of the dying soldier

i think that the name is a literary device that enfasises the meaning of
the poem, forgoten. the title is more like
"there is a word, that i can't remember". the poem means that everyone will
remember great feats in history, but not names. time will wipe the memory
of the people who made history, but maby "The saved will tell
On patriotic day,
Some epauletted Brother
Gave his breath away." means that the family and friends of the fallen will
always remember

I love this poem, to me it speaks of the power of words. Read it again and
I think you'll see what I mean.

When one's soul is forgotten, (by that one's self) God marks that one as a
target, by way of the graciousness of time and living that sould will be
woke up: One day conviction of who you really are will hit you.

To me this poem speaks of the faceless soldiers whose names we shall never
know. Instead, the history books will celebrate a glorious victory, but not
every man's accomplishments. They are forgotten.

I believe that the poem is very good. Not to mention how hard it is to
think about how it feels to be forgotten about.

erm..it's a nice poem with such lovely words...it makes people realize
sometimes in some victory there's a soul(person) behind it that we forgot
about...it's a nice poem n can make people realize that it's hurt when we
strive to get something than be forgotten when we achieve it.....dickinson
just doesn't want it happens to her...that's y she wrote it...i think!

All people fear that they will be forgotten after they die. Perhaps Emily
wrote this poem during the war, for she seems to say that the bravest of
men-soldiers- are likely to die anonymously on the battlefield and will be
unable to keep their memory alive.
