It is really one way that I followed in my mid-exam this semester. My friends would wonder what to write and how to answer the questions, and I would say to them: "consult Plato and the guys", i.e., Aristotle and Socrates, as the (professor), ironically enough, would be really somehow intimidated and shocked with what is going on in the paper at hand. I got 21 out of 25! For sure, the higest mark is always 22 out of 25, and no one but the most beautiful and (sorry for the term) sexy girl would get 22 in the courses that same professor teaches!

These are the days - refers to Indian Summer, or a summer-like day in fall, NOT spring. That's why communion is referred to - comes at the END of the religious service. Leaves falling, plants going to seed. She is almost convinced that it is actually summerr herself, even though she knows better. Try to et a clue from ACTUALLY READING the poem before you try to stroke yourself with non-related works of antiquity in comparison. This is really awful.

I used to read such poem in <a href="http://www.gospellight.com/sunday-school/">sunday school</a> when I was a teenager. Every poem has a hidden meaning. Poem gives us pleasure in mind and heart. Poem is a kind of art decorated or embedded with words and literature. Very nice poem no need to say further things because everything is mentioned already withing summary.

I would personally argue that some of Dickinson's religious imagery can be read just as that — religious imagery — but with the rather strong disclaimer inserted that textual analysis is not really my speciality.

Although I'm no Dickinson, I'd love to have my poems analyzed so intellectually someday. Wow, you really know how to delve into a poem!
