Thanks. Every morning I drink a large glass of cold water and read a WS sonnet. I have 4 little books drifting around the house. I randomly pick one I don’t know and read it a couple of times. I love the feeling of of not knowing what the poem is getting at.. I like not knowing and then coming to an understanding. But I really enjoy your word by word way of explaining a poem. I’m a photographer and find poetry is a way to populate my otherwise empty head. Thanks
What a wonderful explanation! Simple yet deep. Read the poem several times but your explanation made me appreciate the nature - imagery in this poem like never before.
A tippler (I just found out by googling) is also a breed of pigeon that's used for flying competitions. So the last two lines are perhaps supposed to invoke an image of a pidgeon flying through the sunlight.
"Emily Dickinson has her own way of capitalizing", loved the way you worded it, also, great video, as always. But a honest question here, the poem version I have goes like this: I taste a liquor never brewed - From Tankards scooped in Pearl - Not all the Frankfort Berries Yield such an Alcohol! What is this third line I have and I does it differs from what you've read?
Renan Colombini Ah, yes! Dickinson revised a lot, and this line is one she liked as well. It refers to Frankfurt, the German city, where she assumes they grow "berries" that are made into wine. I'm not sure if she's thinking of berry wines or if she's using the word berry to refer to grapes. Hope this gives you some insight!
Thank you so much for explaining even the seemingly obvious words, it really helps a non-native English speaker.
