Tip of the Post:
If you want to have a laugh, read on…
I’m in English 110, which, as I have come to realize, is a course based on studying complicated pieces of literature. Being a science gal (though I do love writing and reading), some of the stuff is a bit hard for me to comprehend and can be really frustrating at times.
For example: Emily Dickinson. As far as I know, she was a recluse who hung around home all day and wrote thousands of poems that she never intended to be published. So. Was she a profound person? Or just crazy? I mean, some of her work is brilliant. It’s just that sometimes I find it really hard to squeeze meaning from certain things she says, i.e.
“Because He knows — and
Do not You —
And We know not —
Enough for Us
The Wisdom it be so”
(excerpt from an untitled poem [480] by Emily Dickinson)
According to Asha, the speaker behind this stanza “is like Yoda after having a stoke”. I agree. And best of all, I got a huge laugh out of the whole thing and really feel a lot better about analyzing profound (or not so much) sayings by famous people. Thanks bud 🙂
And so Now my
Friends
I must say — adieu — to
go and
read — More
pOems.
