The simplicity of Emily Dickinson's poem A day is brought to life in the images of life ordinary things. Through the eyes of a curious child, Emily takes the reader on a spiritual journey from the miracle of sunrise, to the mystery of the sunset.
It begins the poem with a statement: I'll tell you how the sun rose. Their knowledge and the confidence of this grandiosity is devided worthy. Your statement is defined in the metaphorical image that the sun rises a band at a time. The colorful Stratus layers across the sky shown as bands. A sense of vanity is connoted, of which the morning sky is justified because - honestly - all earned in the creation of some value or value.
The morning sky is the color of amethyst because her next thought tells us that the steeples swam in amethyst. The word "tower" is a spiritual word. He suggests physical height and spiritual depth. The idea of the tall building swimming "against the Amethyst background is captured in the concept of movement. The early morning air is alive and moving, giving the impression that weigh the church towers in the wind.
Once the natural colors of the sunrise and the morning breeze were described, impressed the poet to the reader how fast nature reacts to these signs. She says that the message of the risen sun like squirrels ran. In fact awakened nature, runs fast like a squirrel. (the speed of a squirrel is much debated, but many people will say that they run at an average of 16 km per hour) provides. the message of this beautiful picture, is that as soon as the sun rises , everything happened quickly. This in fact symbolizes the bustle of the day that we have to deal with, from the moment we wake up.
the rhythm in the first verse is quick and easy. The tone is cheerful and full of promise. There is further in the second stanza, where the hill personified untie their bonnets. As the sun rises and the morning air begins to warm, the fog that is the metaphorical bonnet, evaporated over the hills. Then begin bobolinks singing. The Bobolink a small American songbirds. Something special about the dawn is really the dawn chorus. What can other birds than to sing when they wake up? And whatever may be the habitat, singing to birds.
At the end of the second stanza Emily the sun for everything that is happening raises. She says that it is the sun that the tapes caused in the air to float the steeples to run the squirrel, the hills untie their bonnets and the birds singing. The sun brings miraculously the morning to life. It is a message that the birth symbolizes; the beginning.
The rhythm starts then in her statement to change: But how does he imagine I do not know. The mood in the mystery of sunset steamed. It seemed a purple stile, the little yellow boys and girls were all gently climbing until it reaches to the other side, a dominie in gray set the evening bars and led the herd away.
as the sun sets on the horizon, sunlight enters the atmosphere at a lower angle and a function of the concentration of atmospheric particles in the path of the incident sunlight, the clouds appear yellow, pink and purple. The yellow clouds are the puffy cumulus clouds. These playful clouds remind the poet of children over a stile climbing. The purple stile is a band of stratus cloud on the horizon nearly parallel linger.
So, as the day ends, the children are taken away from a dominie. Literally could the dominie be a cleric or a teacher who brings as a shepherd, the flock home to safety. Figuratively speaking, it is night - dark - that brings an end to the day (or life). The color gray symbolizes mourning: the end of a beautiful day; Death. It also reminds the reader of the fact that the poet does not know how the sun goes down. The color enhances the mystery. Figuratively, people do not know what happens after death. The evening bar provide a sense of security. This gives the reader hope.
The reference from the Sun as the male dominie be, proclaims the greatness of the Creator and gives the verse a spiritual tone. It is as if the poet wants to meditate on the spiritual meaning of the sunset reader. When dawn is the beginning - birth - surely then sunset is the end - death.
The poem has a very unconventional rhymes broken meters. Your use of metaphors is alive and mentally. Emily Dickinson insight into the nature and the life was original and profound. Her works are descriptive and show the power of their imagination. This really is a very beautiful poem, which like so many of her other poems, deals with the themes of life, death and immortality.
