Maybe the dashes are there to allow the reader, or even Emily herself, to take in what was written. She wants us to contemplate them and not just be willing to immediately move on to the finish line. Each line is meant to be a poem unto itself as well as to be a poem of a whole. There's the individual line - expression of the individual, vs the poem as a whole - expression and interpretation of society.

'i heard a fly buzz when i died' is an extremely important poem for me. my 11th grade american literature teacher read it to our class, and the "blue" uncertain stumbling buzz of the fly made my head hurt, because the sound of a fly buzzing is brown, not blue. my teacher then threw out the term 'synesthesia' which finally gave me a name for the weirdness i always had of seeing and feeling colors where there supposedly weren't any. anyway, thank you for this miniseries, john! it was awesome.

She was said to go out and play games with children but go back inside the moment any adults came around or lower baked yummies out her window for children to eat, showing a particular fondness (respect?) of children over adults.

She's putting emphasis on the syllables "still" and "room" in that sentence, which contrasts with the use of the word "buzz" in the previous line. (And "buzz" is I think emphasized by a use of trochaic substitution when you listen to it carefully!)

As you described the poem and the punctuation, I guess the dashes have their standard meaning of a pause or change of voice; So that final dash is the silence of death after the poem ends.

At the end of the poem she is not certain she will achieve it. That’s how I see it, at least.

Calling Dickinson a pious woman is a bit of a stretch. She had a complex relationship with religion at best. In college, the headmistress kept two lists--one of all the "good" girls ready for salvation, and one of all the "bad" girls who were literally unsalvageable. Emily here made the very top of the latter!

She may have had an unconventional understanding of God (for her time, anyway), but she definitely wasn't an unquestionable atheist. She explores the nuances of her beliefs in her poetry and appropriates religious symbols in order to question the church and complicate her own interpretations of them. In any case, you're allowed to interpret her poetry however you like as long as you have the textual evidence to back it up.

EEEgh. wrong: and I quote: "Lengberg Castle, first documented in 1190, was rebuilt into a representative palais in the 15th century by adding a second floor. During extensive reconstruction in July 2008, a vault filled with waste was found beneath the floorboards of a room on the second story of the castle, where it was dumped during the 15th-century reconstruction. Due to dry conditions in the vault the organic waste, mainly consisting of worked wood, leather (shoes) and textiles had been extremely well preserved, and four of the linen fragments resemble modern bras." making you the largest fool man on the planet poor thing everything you know is wrong would be a start. :P

lets take your stupidity just a little further: "Ancient Greek women wore a form of bra called an apodesme. Both Roman men and women wore a loincloth or shorts called subligaculum. Women also wore a band of cloth or leather around their chest called a strophium or mamilare.'.

Redwan Hasan blatant stupidity does it for me :P everytime.. How can a man live as long as you and have so many facts wrong ? Answer if you dare ! 'If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.'
