ellauri051.html on line 510: Useille lukijoille Wilt Whatman ja Emily Dickinson ovat 1800-luvun amerikkalaisen runouden peruspilareita. Täh? Julkihomo ja salalesbo ämmä? Ei meille repupersuille! Eritoten Whatmanin runous ilmentää perusamerikkalaisuutta. Runoilija tuo esiin tavallisen Amerikan hyvin perinteisellä jenkkityylillä (tätä on mm. vapaa tyyli). Hänen runoutensa voima tuottaa voimakkaita ja eläviä tunteita, ja hänet tunnistaa ilmaisun epä-älyllisyydestä. Whatman turvautuu toistoon luodakseen tekstinsä hypnoottisen tunnelman, tämä toisto luo samalla myös hänen runoutensa voiman, sillä se inspiroi lukijaa enemmän kuin informoi. Yleensä hänen runojaan pitää kuunnella äänikirjoina, jotta niiden sanoma avautuisi. Hänen runojensa taso tulee osittain niiden ylevästä diskurssista ja uskonnollisesta ja kvasiuskonnollisesta kielestä, kuten runoilija James Weldon Johnsonillakin (who dat?). Eli perusamerikkalaista on siis hypnoottisuus, epäinformatiivisuus ja feikkiuskonnollisuus. Check.

Sen runokokoelma Runoja 1844 oli suuri menestys. Browningeilla oli yksi poika nimeltä Kynä. Liisaa diggasivat mm. Edgar Allan Poe ja Emily Dickinson. Sen hittejä oli mm. runo "How Do I Love Thee?" (Sonnet 43, 1845).

ellauri078.html on line 74: Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) on (oli) 1 American suurimmista ja omaperäisimmistä runosepoista ja kaikkien aikojenkin omaperäisimpiä. Kuten kirjoittajat kuten Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Walt Whitman. Nää äijät mul on jo mut Emilyä ei vielä oo. Aika sovinistista.
ellauri078.html on line 78: Dickinsonin äiti, jonka nimi oli myös Emily, oli kylmä uskonnollinen työteliäs perheenemäntä, joka kärsi masennuxista. Sen suhde tyttäreen oli etäinen. Myöhemmin Emily kirjoitti kirjeessä että sillä ei koskaan ollut äitiä.
ellauri078.html on line 80: Dickinson´s verse is often associated with common meter, which is defined by alternating lines of eight syllables and six syllables (8686) or Iambic Tetrameter alternating with Iambic Trimeter. This pattern–one of several types of metrical “feet”–is known as an “iamb.” Common meter is often used in sung music, especially hymns (think “Amazing Grace” of "Yellow Roses of Texas").
ellauri078.html on line 89: She effectively secluded herself and poured forth poems with a profligacy bordering on hypographia. If you want a fairly succinct on-line biography of Dickinson, I enjoyed Barnes & Noble’s SparkNotes.
ellauri078.html on line 99: The singing of hymns, by the way, was not always a feature of Christian worship. For dumb anglo-saxons it was the briton Isaac Watts, a nonconformist (lue hihhuli) during the late 17th Century, who wedded the meter of Folk Song and Ballad to scripture. One of the churches that fully adopted Watts’ hymns was the The First Church of Amherst, Massachusetts, where Dickinson from girlhood on, worshiped.
ellauri078.html on line 101: One more variation on ballad meter would be fourteeners. Fourteeners essentially combine the Iambic Tetrameter and Trimeter alternation into one line. Examples of the form can be found as far back as George Gascoigne – a 16th Century English Poet who preceded Shakespeare. The Yellow Rose of Texas would be an example (and is a tune to which many of Dickinson’s poems can be sung). Wallu varmaan luki tän saman plokisivun ja kuunteli Melvis Pressulan whitey versiota.
ellauri078.html on line 112: By Emily Dickinson
ellauri078.html on line 135: Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, on December 10, 1830 to Edward and Emily (Norcross) Dickinson. At the time of her birth, Emily’s father was an ambitious young lawyer. Educated at Amherst and Yale, he returned to his hometown and joined the ailing law practice of his father, Samuel Fowler Dickinson. Edward also joined his father in the family home, the Homestead, built by Samuel Dickinson in 1813. Active in the Whig Party, Edward Dickinson was elected to the Massachusetts State Legislature (1837-1839) and the Massachusetts State Senate (1842-1843).
ellauri078.html on line 139: By the time of Emily’s early childhood, there were three children in the household. Her brother, William Austin Dickinson, had preceded her by a year and a half. Her sister, Lavinia Norcross Dickinson, was born in 1833. All three children attended the one-room primary school in Amherst and then moved on to Amherst Academy, the school out of which Amherst College had grown. The brother and sisters’ education was soon divided. Austin was sent to Williston Seminary in 1842; Emily and Vinnie continued at Amherst Academy.
ellauri078.html on line 141: By Emily Dickinson’s own account, she delighted in all aspects of the school—the curriculum, the teachers, the students. The school prided itself on its connection with Amherst College, offering students regular attendance at college lectures in all the principal subjects— astronomy, botany, chemistry, geology, mathematics, natural history, natural philosophy, and zoology. As this list suggests, the curriculum reflected the 19th-century emphasis on science. That emphasis reappeared in Dickinson’s poems and letters through her fascination with naming, her skilled observation and cultivation of flowers, her carefully wrought descriptions of plants, and her interest in “chemic force.” Those interests, however, rarely celebrated science in the same spirit as the teachers advocated.
ellauri078.html on line 143: In an early poem, she chastised science for its prying interests. Its system interfered with the observer’s preferences; its study took the life out of living things. In “‘Arcturus’ is his other name” she writes, “I pull a flower from the woods - / A monster with a glass / Computes the stamens in a breath - / And has her in a ‘class!’” At the same time, Dickinson’s study of botany was clearly a source of delight. She encouraged her friend Abiah Root to join her in a school assignment: “Have you made an herbarium yet? I hope you will, if you have not, it would be such a treasure to you.” She herself took that assignment seriously, keeping the herbarium generated by her botany textbook for the rest of her life.
ellauri078.html on line 147: Dickinson found the conventional religious wisdom the least compelling part of these arguments. From what she read and what she heard at Amherst Academy, scientific observation proved its excellence in powerful description. The writer who could say what he saw was invariably the writer who opened the greatest meaning to his readers. While this definition fit well with the science practiced by natural historians such as Hitchcock and Lincoln, it also articulates the poetic theory then being formed by a writer with whom Dickinson’s name was often later linked. In 1838 Emerson told his Harvard audience, “Always the seer is a sayer.”
ellauri078.html on line 149: At the academy she developed a group of close friends within and against whom she defined her self and its written expression. Among these were Abiah Root, Abby Wood, and Emily Fowler. Other girls from Amherst were among her friends—particularly Jane Humphrey, who had lived with the Dickinsons while attending Amherst Academy.
ellauri078.html on line 151: Dickinson left the academy at the age of 15 in order to pursue a higher, and for women, final, level of education. In the fall of 1847 Dickinson entered Mount Holyoke Female Seminary. Under the guidance of Mary Lyon, the school was known for its religious predilection. Part and parcel of the curriculum were weekly sessions with Lyon in which religious questions were examined and the state of the students’ faith assessed. The young women were divided into three categories: those who were “established Christians,” those who “expressed hope,” and those who were “without hope.” Much has been made of Emily’s place in this latter category and of the widely circulated story that she was the only member of that group. Years later fellow student Clara Newman Turner remembered the moment when Mary Lyon “asked all those who wanted to be Christians to rise.” Emily remained seated. No one else did. Turner reports Emily’s comment to her: “‘They thought it queer I didn’t rise’—adding with a twinkle in her eye, ‘I thought a lie would be queerer.’“
ellauri078.html on line 155: Upon their return, unmarried daughters were indeed expected to demonstrate their dutiful nature by setting aside their own interests in order to meet the needs of the home. For Dickinson the change was hardly welcome. Her letters from the early 1850s register dislike of domestic work and frustration with the time constraints created by the work that was never done. “God keep me from what they call households,” she exclaimed in a letter to Root in 1850.
ellauri078.html on line 157: Particularly annoying were the number of calls expected of the women in the Homestead. Edward Dickinson’s prominence meant a tacit support within the private sphere. The daily rounds of receiving and paying visits were deemed essential to social standing. Not only were visitors to the college welcome at all times in the home, but also members of the Whig Party or the legislators with whom Edward Dickinson worked. Emily Norcross Dickinson’s retreat into poor health in the 1850s may well be understood as one response to such a routine.
ellauri078.html on line 159: For Dickinson, the pace of such visits was mind-numbing, and she began limiting the number of visits she made or received. She baked bread and tended the garden, but she would neither dust nor visit.
ellauri078.html on line 234: Halin äiti teki McGillissä kandityön Emily Dickinsonin välimerkkien käytöstä.

Kaikki Emilyn runot ei olleet jenkkivirsimitassa, pussiin oli pujahtanut jokunen trokeinen.
ellauri078.html on line 306: In a letter to Abiah Root, Dickinson once asked, "Does not Eternity appear dreadful to you . . . I often get thinking of it and it seems so dark to me that I almost wish there was no Eternity. To think that we must forever live and never cease to be. It seems as if Death which all so dread because it launches us upon an unknown world would be a relief to so endless a state of existense."

ellauri082.html on line 250: Epäilemättä Robert ja Emily Dickinson runoilevat kuolemasta, KILL! KILL! on FUCK! FUCK! in ohella keskeisin lyyrisistä aiheista. Tai mixei eeppisistäkin, mutta niissä on sentään aika lailla myös tota EAT! EAT! tematiikkaa. Netissä on runsaasti esimerkkiesseitä neuvottomille amerikkalaisille lukiolaisille joiden usein käsketään vertailla näitä runoja. Esim tällänen:
ellauri082.html on line 252: Elämmekö aina? (No emme tietysti, tyhmä kysymyskin. Eihän siitä muuten kannattaisi runoilla.) Kenties tietoisuus jatkuu kuoleman jälkeen? (Ken tosiaankin ties, muttei kertonut, oli kalpeana hiljaa vaan. Todennäköisesti ei.) En pelkää kuolemaa tällä elämäni hetkellä. (Joopa joo kun olen nuori, en fataalisti kipeä enkä hengenvaarassa.) Uskonko että olemme kaikki vangittuja hengellisiä olentoja? (No ei vitussa, me ollaan kaupungistuneita mezien miehiä, kieriskelemässä eläintarhan häkissä olkikupo jalkain välissä äänettömästä naurusta.) Ajattelenko että olemme ikuisia, ja vaan väliaikaisesti täällä ihmishahmossa? (Höpöhöpöä, pelkkää toiveajattelua. Meistä ei jää kuin multaa tai tuhkaläjä.) Puhuja Robert Frostin Pysähdys mezässä lumisena iltana, ja puhuja Emily Dickinsonin Kun en pysäyttänut kuolemalle eivät pelkää kuolemaa. (No sitähän ei sanota, vaikka aika tyynen rauhallisesti ne sen ottavat. Helppoahan se on runossa.) Kuolemaa voi pelottomasti kazella henkisenä, romanttisena ja kuonpuoleisena karkumatkana sielun orjuudesta ja tuskasta.
ellauri082.html on line 254: Emily Dickinsonin Dickinson">Kun en jarruttanut kuolemalle
ellauri082.html on line 264: Kuolema voi olla helpotus kun se tappaa elämisen tuskan. Kuolema voi myös vapauttaa meidän sielun orjuuden. Frostin runossa, puhuja voi fantisoida kuoliaaxi jäätymisestä ja rauhallisesta seppukusta. Frost (osuva nimi, Kuura näät) kirjoittaa, "Jäädä tähän misseio taloja / Mezikön ja järven jään välimaille / Vuoden pimeimpänä iltana." Dickinsonin runossa heti alkaa päälle se sanoo "Kun en pysäyttänyt kuolemalle, se ystävällisesti pysähtyi mun kohdalle." (Enempää ei päässyt lukemaan kirjautumatta, mutta eiköhän tää jo ollut tässä.)
ellauri082.html on line 288: Em's poem was published posthumously in 1890 in Poems: Series 1, a collection of Dickinson's poems assembled and edited by her friends. Critics attribute the lack of fear in her tone as her acceptance of death as "a natural part of the endless cycle of nature," due to the certainty in her belief in Christ. (Silly, if death is a natural part of the endless cycle of nature who needs Christ meddling into it? Christ was no endless cycle guy but like Tom Hanks in "News of the world" a guy who points with his hand straight ahead, in a rigidly raising logistic line toward the abyss.)
ellauri082.html on line 290: Size että Dickinson on 1800-luvun nainen ja Frost 1900-luvun mies on syytä pitää mielessä. Em ei tykännyt jumalisesta tylystä äidistä eikä pölyjen pyyhkimisestä. Se oli öykkärimäisen poliitikkoisän ja väpelön veljen suosikki ja bylsi jälkimmäisen vaimoa. Bob oli isätön ja kiinni swedenborgilaisesti darraavassa äidissä joka oli isän kopean itärannikon maajussisuvun armoilla. Kumpikin suhtautui yläkerran porukoihin ymmärrettävästi epäillen mutta ehkä toiveikkaasti. Sixkai ne jatkuvasti niitä mätystää. Lea kävi kirkon tilaisuuxissa kalkkiviivoilla, sanoi että siitä voi olla jotain hyötyä.
ellauri197.html on line 112: Readers who enjoyed ‘Down By the Salley Gardens’ should also consider readings some of Yeats’ other love-based poems. For instance, a good way to go on are ‘He Wishes His Beloved Were Dead’ and ‘Never Give All the Heart’. Other similar poems by other poets about love include ‘How Happy I Was If I Could Forget’ by Emily Dickinson and ‘Love’s Organ's Growth’ by John Donne. Lady readers might also be interested in ‘Memory’ by Christina Rossetti and ‘In Memory of a Happy Day in February’ by Anne Brontë.

ellauri197.html on line 291: ‘How Happy I Was If I Could Forget’ by Emily Dickinson contains a narrator’s confused thoughts and experiences. She uses complex transformational generative grammar and imagery to convey it further.
ellauri198.html on line 682: The poem is critical to Dickinson's poem "My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun -"
ellauri272.html on line 408: Ammons wrote about humanity's relationship to nature in alternately comic and solemn tones. His poetry often addresses religious and philosophical matters and scenes involving nature, almost in a Transcendental fashion. According to reviewer Daniel Hoffman, his work "is founded on an implied Emersonian division of experience into Nature and the Soul," adding that it "sometimes consciously echoes familiar lines from Emerson, Whitman and Dickinson."[citation needed]
