To; Adam Sobh + curious readers.
This is the way I feel and sense of
Emily metaphors, her feelings, imagination and
with listening heart is how she needs to be read
'Hope' is the thing with Feathers
An emotion felt as 'feathers'
'That perches in the soul—' sings a tune- never stops'
At this point the feathers are not of a bird but
of a wish, (hope) that we hope we will never give up on from within (Soul)
Now in trance, she envisions the bird, her 'hopes'.
And sweetest—in the Gale
As life would be so pleasant and also cruel, so she writes;
'and sore must be the storm— (life)
That could abash the little Bird ' (Hope)
That kept so many warm— (birds) and gale) = pleasantness.
Her finale, is most brilliant of self insight
with metaphor to hold all readers captive and
self questioning. Remember? 'Hope[ being her feathered bird.
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb—of Me.

I've heard it in the chillest land—
And on the strangest Sea—
so lovely
deep
and powerful

I'm doing a project on Emily Dickinson for my 11th grade American Literature class, and i need to find a poem by Miss Emily Dickinson and then analyze it, i chose this poem, but i don't really understand it, so if anybody could please explain it to me and help me to better understand it, i would be extremely grateful.

This is such a beautiful poem! I am guessing that this poem actually does not have a title, and the first sentence just became the title. Am I right?

The tite says it all mainly,1st it says that the feather is light which helps bird fly easily and makes everything easy on us 2nd its warm it keeps us safe and warm in cold places. This poem about hope is one of the best poems I've heard by Emily Dickinson! ! ! ! !

I always think of a bird getting up and flapping its wings when I read this, it gives me hope. I love her descriptions.

Hope does not expect anything from us yet it gives its all at the hardest of times. Hope is indeed selfless.
