Emily Dickinson 英文介绍
EmilyDickinson
等待一小时, 太久 如果爱, 恰巧在那以后 等待一万年, 不长
Because of her discomfort and shyness in social situations or maybe because of her disappointing love affair, Emily gradually reduced her social contacts, going out less and less into society. After 1862, she became a total recluse. Besides, she was only dressed in white. However, despite the physical seclusion, Emily maintained written contact with a variety of people and she read a lot.. Her decision to live life as a recluse did not close her mind, but in many ways allowed the flow of new thoughts and inner experiences.
I’m Nobody Emily Dickinson I’m nobody, who are you? Are you nobody too? Then there’s a pair of us. Don’t tell——they’d banish us, you know. How dreary to be somebody, How public——like a frog—— To tell your name the livelong June To an admiring bog.
Emily-Dickinson作者简介
Themes
Dickinson's poems are usually based on her own experiences, her sorrows and joys. But within her little lyrics Dickinson addresses those issues that concern the whole human beings, which include religion, death, immortality, love, and nature.
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson
(December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886)
Emily Dickinson was an American poet. Born in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a successful family with strong community ties, she lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life. As the "Belle of Amherst", she was one of the most highly-regarded poets ever to write.
Style
(1) poems without titles (2) capital letters – emphasis (3) severe economy of expression (4) directness, brevity (5) musical device to create cadence (rhythm) (6) short poems, mainly two stanzas (7) rhetoric techniques: personification – make some of abstract ideas vivid (8) use a lot of dashes
Emily Dickinson
Dickinson wrote altogether 1775 poems, of which only 7 appeared in print in her lifetime. She didn’t like the “surgery” that some editors had done to her works. She belongs to the future.
themes
Dickinson’s poetry is a clear illustration of her religious-ethical and political-social ideas. Calvinism with its doctrine of predestination and its pessimism pressured her during her childhood and adolescence and colored her work so that her basic tone was tragic. She expressed a passionate yearning for religious certitude, God’s help, and the good life.
By far the largest portion of Dickinson’s poetry concerns death and immortality. Her preoccupation with these subjects amounted to an obsession so that about one third of her poems dwell on them.
Dickinson sees nature as both gaily benevolent and cruel. Her nature poems are great in number and rich in matter. Natural phenomena, changes of seasons, animals, birds and flowers of various kinds all found their way into her poetry. The grandeur of a sunrise, the mixed feelings of joy and grief at the coming of spring and autumn. In the meanwhile, the cold indifference of nature is also revealed in her poems.
Emily Dickinson 简介

------Emily Dickinson
(1830 – 1886)

艾米丽狄金森(英文介绍)
Two people who influenced Dickinson's life during her youth were Nad Humphrey, and Benminger Newton, a young lawyer at her father's law firm.
Newton's constant instructions on what to read and how to read, and the beauty of nature in its harmony and wholeness. Newton also often preached to her the religious ideas of the Calvinists, and made her accept the Calvinist idea of inner sight and of the beauty of nature and the coldness of the world. These ideas became the creeds of her life and were later vividly reflected in all her poems.
我是无名之辈,你是谁? 我是无名之辈,你是谁? 你,也是,无名之辈? 这就有了我们一对! 可是别声张! 你知道,他们会大肆张扬! 做个,显要人物,好不无聊!

Life
Dickinson proved to be a dazzling student and in 1847, though she was already somewhat of a „homebody‟, at the age of seventeen Emily left for South Hadley, Massachusetts to attend the Mount Holyoke Female Seminary. She stayed there less than a year and some of the theories as to why she left are homesickness and poor health.

Rhyme
A bird came down the walk: He did not know I saw; He bit an angle-worm in halves And ate the fellow, raw.. And then he drank a dew From a convenient grass, And then hopped sidewise to the wall To let a beetle pass. He glanced with rapid eyes That hurried all abroad, They looked frightened beads, I thought He stirred his velvet head. a b c b a b c b a b c d
• It is an example of simile because it used ―like‖. It compares his eyes to beads.

Conclusion
Busy with making their own lives, people don’t take time to observe their surroundings. It is quite sad that they fail to stop to appreciate all the beautiful things just right in front of their eyes. If people do take time to observe, life will be much more easier and happier. There wouldn’t be a lot of pollution and different kinds of problems occurring.
Emily Dickinson
A Report about Emily DickinsonEmily Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, on December 10; 1830.Her father was a prominent lawyer and politician. There were four children in her family, and Emily was second daughter of the family. T hroughout Emily's life, her mother was not "emotionally accessible," the absence of which might have caused some of Emily's eccentricity. Being rooted in the puritanical Massachusetts of the 1800's, the Dickinson children were raised in the Christian tradition, and they were expected to take up their father's religious beliefs and values without argument. Under the influence of his father, so Emily Dickinson was never married. However, she cultivated intense intellectual companionship with several men in succession. These include Benjamin F, the Reverend Charles Wadsworth of Philadelphia and Thomas W. Higginson.Being the daughter of a prominent politician, Emily had the benefit of a good education and attended the Amherst Academy. Dickinson was educated at Amherst Academy (1834-47), where she had a good scientific education, and Mount Holyoke Female Seminary (1847-48).Her famous work is Poems by Emily Dickinson in 1890.But when she was alive, only a few poems were published, such as I am nobody,I died for Beauty but was Scarce and Because I Could Not Stop for Death these ones are the most famous ones. . Today, Emily is regarded as one of American‘s great lyric poets. Her writing style is short, fresh and original,marked by the vigor of her images, the daring of her thought and the beauty of expression. She was able to focus on her own world..Emily was original and innovative in her poetry, most often drawing on the Bible, classical mythology, and Shakespeare for allusions and references.She died in 1886; four years later her works became available to general reading public. Until then, she was really famous in America and became one of the most famous poets.。

狄金森是一位直觉型诗人,跃动在诗行中的生命激情和思想 火花与其生前那独具神秘色彩的封闭生活状态形成了鲜明对照 。她的诗歌既有日常家庭生活题材,又有抽象深奥命题思考, 不仅具有很强的抒情性,而且还富有哲理内涵。其诗作形式多 变,颇具独创性和个性化特点, 如:无标题、押半韵、改变字 母大小写和飘忽不定的断句分行策略等。标点符号的运用更是 与众不同,长短不一的破折号的使用,使抑扬格、音步、节奏 等诗歌元素的搭配产生突兀的起伏跳动,来拓展诗句的特殊意 义。
Like Dickinson, Wadsworth was a solitary, romantic person that Emily could confide in when writing her poetry. Wadsworth‟s religious beliefs and presumptions also gave Emily a sharp, and often welcome, contrast to the transcendentalist ( 超 验 主 义 者 ) writing and easy assumptions (设想) of Emerson. It is widely believed that Emily had a great love for Wadsworth from Philadelphia even though he was married. Many Dickinson‟s critics believe that Wadsworth was the focal point of her love poems.

英语作文介绍一个诗人Title: The Enigmatic Poet: Exploring the Legacy of Emily DickinsonEmily Dickinson, often hailed as one of America'sgreatest poets, remains an enigmatic figure whose poetry continues to captivate readers worldwide. Born on December 10, 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts, Dickinson spent the majority of her life in relative seclusion, yet her introspective and innovative verses have left an indelible mark on thelandscape of American literature.Dickinson's poetic journey began in her teenage years, influenced by the works of renowned writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and William Wordsworth. Despite receiving a limited formal education, she displayed a remarkable talentfor poetry, experimenting with form, syntax, and punctuationin ways that were ahead of her time.One of Dickinson's defining characteristics as a poet was her profound exploration of themes such as death, immortality, nature, and the human condition. Her poems often confront existential questions with a combination of wit, insight, and emotional depth. In "Because I could not stop for Death," she personifies death as a courteous gentleman, inviting thereader on a journey towards eternity. Through her vivid imagery and meticulous attention to language, Dickinson transforms the mundane into the extraordinary, inviting readers to ponder life's mysteries.Despite her reluctance to seek publication during her lifetime, Dickinson diligently compiled her poems into small handmade booklets known as "fascicles." It wasn't until after her death in 1886 that her sister, Lavinia, discovered these treasures hidden away in Dickinson's bedroom. The subsequent publication of her work revealed a poetic voice unlike any other, earning her posthumous acclaim and cementing herlegacy as a literary icon.Dickinson's unconventional use of language and punctuation has been a subject of fascination for scholars and readers alike. Her dashes, unconventional capitalization, and idiosyncratic syntax invite multiple interpretations, adding layers of complexity to her already enigmatic verses. Some critics argue that these stylistic choices reflect Dickinson's desire to convey the ineffable nature of human experience, while others see them as deliberate acts of rebellion against the literary norms of her time.Throughout her life, Dickinson maintained a rich correspondence with friends and acquaintances, often exchanging letters that reveal her wit, intellect, and keen observations of the world around her. These letters offer valuable insights into Dickinson's creative process and the personal experiences that shaped her poetry. Despite her reclusive nature, Dickinson forged meaningful connections through her correspondence, demonstrating her ability toengage with others on a profound emotional and intellectual level.In the decades following her death, Dickinson's poetry has continued to resonate with readers of all ages and backgrounds. Her influence can be seen in the works of countless poets and writers who have been inspired by her innovative use of language and her fearless exploration of the human soul. From contemporary poets to modern-day songwriters, Dickinson's legacy endures as a testament to the enduring power of poetry to illuminate the human experience.In conclusion, Emily Dickinson remains a towering figure in the world of literature, her poetry transcending time and space to speak to the deepest truths of the human condition. Through her introspective verses and innovative use of language, she invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and contemplation. As we continue to unravel the mysteries of her life and work, one thing remains certain:Emily Dickinson's legacy will continue to inspire and enchant generations to come.。

Despite her reclusive nature, Dickinson wrote over 1,800 poems in her lifetime, many of which were published posthumously.I first discovered Dickinson's poetry in high school and was immediately drawn to her unique style and use of language. Her poems often explore deep emotions and existential themes, and her use of slant rhyme and unconventional punctuation make her work stand out from other poets of her time.One of my favorite poems by Dickinson is "Because I could not stop for Death." In this poem, Death is personified as a gentleman who takes the speaker on a carriage ride through different stages of life, ultimately leading to the speaker's grave. It's a haunting andthought-provoking poem that has stuck with me over the years.Dickinson's poetry has had a lasting impact on theliterary world, and her influence can be seen in the workof many contemporary poets.

emilydickinson艾米丽迪金森简介[5篇模版]第一篇:emily dickinson 艾米丽迪金森简介Emily DickinsonMy favorite writer is Emily Dickinson.Like Whitman, she broke the limitations of her time.Though she left us more than 1770 poems, only several of these poems are published before she died.From her twentieth, she began to get rid of the contact with society.So we do not know much information about her, which made us feel hard to know the exact meaning of her poetry.Her style was influenced greatly by Emerson.Though she almost did not go to the outdoor, she lived a colorful spirit life.She was very important in American literature.The themes of Emily Dickinson’s poems are love, nature, doubt and faith, suffering, d eath and immortality.For example, she writes To Make a Prairie… and I Died for Beauty, but was Scarce.The style of her poems is terse and frequently imagistic style.That style is very modern and innovative.Dickinson explores the inside world.Her poetry is marked for her concise, direct and simple diction and syntax.Although she had normal and vivacious girlhood, her poetry illustrates the doctrine predestination and pessimism, so that her basic tone was tragic.She sees nature as both gaily benevolent and cruel.On the ethical level she emphasizes free-will and human responsibility.Like Emerson, she holds that beauty, truth and goodness are ultimately one.She says “For Beauty,” I replied—“and I--for Truth--Themselves are One— we Brethren, are,” he said--The artistic features of her poems lie in her innovation in rhyme and her structural patterns.She used “consonance” which means similarity of final consonants.For example, inSuccess Is Counted Sweetest, in the second stanza, “today” and “victory” are consonanc e.Another rhyme she used is assonance: the final vowels correspond, but the consonants are different.Her major pattern is that of a sermon: statement or introduction of topic, elaboration and conclusion.There are three variations of this major pattern.Firstly, the poet makes her initial announcement of topic in an unfigured line.Secondly, she uses a figure for that purpose.Thirdly, she repeated her statement and its elaboration a number of times before drawing a conclusion.The characters of Emily Dickinson’s poems are as follows: first, frequent use of dashes, such as the poem I Died for Beauty, but was Scarce;second, sporadic capitalization of nouns;third, convoluted and ungrammatical phrasing;forth, off-rhymes;innovation in rhyme;fifth,compressed, broken meters;sixth, bold and unconventional and often startling metaphors, for example, “ And so, as Kinsmen met a Night—We talked between the Rooms--Until the Moss had reached our lips—And covered up—our names--”;seventh, aphoristic wit;eighth, begin with “I”,such as “I’m nobody!Who are you”;ninth, ambiguity of meaning and syntax, this is because we do not have enough documents about Emily Dickinson;last, elliptical—she will say no more than she must, because she was influenced by the doctrine of her religion.第二篇:《艾米丽与玫瑰花》读后感《艾米丽与玫瑰花》读后感《献给艾米丽一朵玫瑰花》是美国南方作家威廉.福克纳的一篇广为人知的短篇小说,通过大量象征描绘了主人公艾米丽小姐的形象和南北战争后南方人复杂的心态。

Emily’s LIFE
Emily Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, in the town of Amherst, Massachusetts.
Emily could never accept the doctrine of “original sin”. Despite remaining true to her own convictions.
Emily’s religious experience was not a simple intellectual statement of belief; it could be more accurately reflected in the beauty of nature, and the experiences of ecstatic joy.
Religious Belief
The Calvinist approach to religion believed that men were inherently sinful and most humans were doomed to hell.
There was only a small number who would be saved, and this could only be achieved by the adherent proclaiming his faith in Jesus Christ, as the true saviour.
Amherst College is located in Amherst, Massachusetts, a town of 35,000 people in the western part of the state.
The college’s 1,000-acre campus is adjacent to downtown Amherst.
