This poem is soooooo great! I can relate to it. She tells of hoe she has
been hurt so bad by someone, that she wants to forget about him, but her
heart won't let her.

I think this poem is about how she lost a loved one and wants to forget the
tragedy that she has suffered from for such a long time.

This poem has been set to music by James Mullholand for women's chorus,
piano and french horn. It is a gorgeous piece that really captures
Dickinson's meaning.

In this beautifully written poem, the poet, Emily Dickinson battles between
her mind and her heart. In lines 1&2 she quotes, "Heart! We will forget
him! You and I -tonight!". Her mind is telling her heart that they will
both forget their loved one. The heart begins by imagining itself and it's
lover together when the mind interupts, insisting that the heart forget
about it tonight.
There is a connection between the poem and modern-day life. Sometimes when
you feel a connection between you and another individual you have an
internal conflict. One part of you wants to think and daydream about the
person, while the other scolds you and contradicts what you feel.
Literary analysis questions:
1.) Which part of the author is more powerful, the mind or the heart?
2.) The lover gave botht the heart and the mind something different, why is
each gift important?
3.) What do the exclamation points add to the poem?
4.) Why does the mind give up on the heart?
5.) What feeling does the author want the reader to feel while reading this
poem?
