A Study of Unusual Verb Constructions in the Poems of Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson's recurring pessimism contains the seed of her perennial resilience. As distinct from merely lamenting a lost beloved, for example, her poetry of aftermath defines new bounds of love. Her postexperiential perspective contributes, therefore, to the psychobiographical dimension of her art; it also overlaps, paradoxically, Romantic Anglo-America's reliance on natural and spiritual experience. Thus, however counterintuitively and however much against the odds, Dickinson's aftermath does more than just signal a Victorian-American morbidity or just shore fragments against a pre-Modern ruin. In addition, her signature conundrum of "sumptuous Destitution - " saturates her sorrow with her joy, epitomizing, thereby, her Late-Romantic hope.
