Literary analysis of metaphors in Dickinson's poem reveals deeper personal and spiritual experiences.
Emily Dickinsons "Theres a certain Slant of light" (F320) consists of powerful images or metaphors, which evoke strong memories of "Winter Afternoons."The metaphors in the poem are said to be gures of the inner life and do not seem to have any direct connection with winter or with light.But the poem is written based on the poets personal experience.Dickinsons personal stories behind the poem add to all the more natural and compelling power of the metaphors.As a result, the reader could appreciate not merely a poetic but a religious experience.Emily Dickinson is a poet of metaphors.
