A Great Hope Fell Comments

So sad.

my favorite poem ever, but christ that ad was too long migga

How one's heart suffers when a strong hope for something fails and again hoping for a bright life from that dark till the end....only Emily can express so beautifully like this...her choice of words and the way she has strung them is superb-10

Emily Dickinson had a vast treasure trove of wisdom to dip into when writing, this is but one example but it shines, doesn't it? - - - - - - -] A not admitting of the wound Until it grew so wide That all my Life had entered it

Beautiful poem. The ruin was within......closing comes in acceptance......the master carpenter provides us all with a lid.....

A beautifully conceived intriguing yet great poem composed by equally great poetess inflicted with great pain and distress. Thanks for sharing.

The ruin was within! Thanks for sharing.

A good piece of poetry! Well-penned

........most mysterious, and I agree Eric, she hasn't given us enough clues ★

A good experience of poetry here I experience.

She leaves us to wonder what her great hope was. Did it have to do with a cure for 'falling sickness' (epilepsy) that kept her hidden away? Or did she hope for love? Or maybe someone who would publish her poetry with out modifying it. We are not to know.
