Emily Dickinson, TS Eliot, Robert Frost Essay -- Informative, Authors

The three authors that I chose were Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), TS Eliot (1888-1965), and Robert Frost (1874-1963). I chose them because first they all were born in the eighteen degree Celsius and most of their publications dealt with dying and dying. I do not believe the elements that Emily Dickinson would be a good source for me to bear into my writing because with her writings I found them very hard to understand, possibly because of the timeline or the fact that she wrote in such a secretive code with voice communication. If we have some familiarity with these means, or established elements of poetry, our understanding and enjoyment of the poem will be greatly increased (Charters page 762). There were very few of her poems that I could understand or til now enjoy reading, I felt a sense of bleakness, despair, loneliness in most of the poems that she wrote. In her poem She diedthis was the way she died. There was the use of nerve centre verse (Charters page 764 ) when she used the word spied and ended the poem by saying upon the mortal side. Also in her poem Im cypher Who are you? Sounds as if she also had a low self esteem by stating that she was a nobody. Today, in the 20th century if a person wrote words as such they would probably be diagnosed with depression with suicidal ideology, mostly because of the poems I felt a funeral in my brain, and Theres been a death in the opposite house all very bleak and gloomy. The best poem of Emily Dickinson to me would be the one I never saw a moorland because I like the rhythm of the poem and can completely agree with the direction that the poet is taking the readers and once again I can see eye rhyme (Charters Page 764) with the words Heaven and given within the poem. I actually really enjoye... ...ll become old and to remember our youth, dont check it for granted. Also, his poem To Earthward was a mixture of lyric poetry (Charters page 811), ode (Charters page 815) and alliteratio n (Charters page 762). The examples of this mixture would be the use of the words musk, dusk, honeysuckle, knuckle, salt, fault, love, clove, hand, sand, enough and rough. His writings were not as dreadful and bleak as Emily Dickinsons poems. The poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening was user-friendly to read with a constant rhythm, and there was no question what he was talking about. I believe if I was to choose any of the above writers and incorporate their unique form of writing into my own would be Robert Frost because of his direct approach, the tone that he used, and the rhythmic way he put his words together to make it work for the poem and the audience.
