AURORA, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Of bronze and blaze Last Line: Whom none but daisies know. Subject(s): Aurora Borealis; Northern Lights | ||||||||
OF bronze and blaze The north, to-night! So adequate its forms, So preconcerted with itself, So distant to alarms, -- An unconcern so sovereign To universe, or me, It paints my simple spirit With tints of majesty, Till I take vaster attitudes, And strut upon my stem, Disdaining men and oxygen, For arrogance of them. My splendors are menagerie; But their competeless show Will entertain the centuries When I am, long ago, An island in dishonored grass, Whom none but daisies know. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NORTHERN LIGHTS by EINAR BENEDIKTSSON AN AURORA BOREALIS; ROSLIN CASTLE by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK AN AURORA BOREALIS by GEORGE CROLY NORTHERN LIGHTS by WILLIAM JAY SMITH NORTHERN LIGHTS by CARROLL RYAN THE NORTHERN LIGHTS by BENJAMIN FRANKLIN TAYLOR NORTHERN LIGHTS by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS |
