Thesis Statement

Love is a natural phenomenon and inevitable part of human's life.

Introduction

All the poems have same theme which focuses over love and affection. In some poem we can see that writer is expressing his love for his girlfriend, talking about the need of sex and physical relationship while other are focusing on the love of nature which shows their integrity against animals. Some focus over forming relationship with other but because of royal status or fear of being political alliance cause the elimination of love.

A Narrow Fellow In The Grass (Emily Dicken's)

Emily has written this poem in which she has expressed her feeling for the respect of nature. She has focus over the significance of animals and nature in our life (Huff & Randall, 2007, pp.2).

One of the great things a poet can do is to improve our lives by revealing the magnificence inherent in everyday life. The voice and tone of Emily Dickinson's poem are conversational and its subject, the experience of suddenly and unexpectedly encountering a snake, is nearly universal. The speaker of the poem recalls such a meeting and at the same time provides valuable clues as to the nature of poetic sensibility. The movement of the poem repeatedly relaxes and shrinks back, transporting the reader from the calm remembrance of the event in the first stanza to the very moment of discovery in the second, and like a serpent sliding through grass and weeds, the poem oscillates between objective and subjective experience. All of the poet's arts are brought to bear on this seemingly unpromising topic.

The snake is viewed from a variety of perspectives, with its movement in the grass first alerting the speaker to its presence. Notice that the delivery and voice of the first two stanzas are what you would expect, given the barest introduction to the poet's background. The assumption of a shared disregard for such beings is conveyed by the words, "did you not," a phrase as pitiless as one is likely to encounter anywhere in Vermont. Like some satanic spirit, the snake is instilled with almost spiritual powers, including the ability to ride in the grass and to make sudden appearances. The delicately ungrammatical fourth line ("His notice sudden is—") carries a full measure of poetic vagueness, at the same time that it accurately relays the impression the encounter makes in the speaker. It may also suggest that the snake is equally surprised. The poet's description of the grass being parted with comb (line 5) is also perfectly in keeping within the world of the sheltered, domestic life of the supposed speaker, and returns her back indoors.

We are, however, in the presence of genius. The perspective of the second stanza is extraordinary; the reader is placed in the tall Grass, from which an unknown thing is about to astonishingly appear. The use of the comb places us almost at eye level with the snake, a cinematic effect rather like a ...
