Sinopse
Dickinson’s poetry is remarkable for its tightly controlled emotional and intellectual energy. The longest poem covers less than two pages. Yet in theme and tone her writing reaches for the sublime as it charts the landscape of the human soul. A true innovator, Dickinson experimented freely with conventional rhythm and meter, and often used dashes, off rhymes, and unusual metaphors—techniques that strongly influenced modern poetry. Dickinson’s idiosyncratic style, along with her deep resonance of thought and her observations about life and death, love and nature, and solitude and society, have firmly established her as one of America’s true poetic geniuses.
Minha review no GoodReads
My life closed twice before its close -
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me
So huge, so hopeless to conceive
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.
-----------------------------
A minha vida fechou-se duas vezes antes de se fechar –
Mas fica por saber
Se a imortalidade me revela
Um evento maior
Tão largo, tão incrível de pensar
Como estes que sobre ela duas vezes tombaram.
Partir é tudo o que sabemos do céu,
Tudo o que do inferno se pode precisar.
