A Bird Came Down the Walk, and a Narrow Fellow in the Grass, by Emily Dickinson

"A bird came down the walk” and “A narrow fellow in the grass” are both best

known poems in the world by Emily Dickinson. Both poems talk about descriptions

of nature. “A bird came down the walk” includes birds and images, true to her

usual, easy way to capture the bird's personality. Birds become unyielding nature of

the mysterious emblem. This poem is a simple experience seeing birds

hop down the path and celebrates every detail which is simple but beautiful order of nature. She utilizes playful and guileless rhythm in the poem to depictthe picture of nature. The reader can image a beautiful picture in the romantic poems. Miss Dickinson demonstrates her extraordinary poetic

observation and the ability to describe. In “A narrow fellow in the grass”, Miss

Dickinson uses different methods to create the rhythm, to reveal the thesis of her

encounters with snakes and other creatures of nature, and contact her feelings.

In “A bird came down the walk”, its main technique is the language of

metaphor and rhythmically breaking up the meter with long dashes, these two

techniques results in a powerful image. In stanza one, because bird does not know she

is there, his natural behavior is not affected by her presence. We see him bite the bird-

eating worms and half of the "wild" or non-human. "Raw", continues to emphasize

his wild. Ironically, the word "material" to civilized values andd practices ("raw",

implicitly comparing cooked food) meaning. Why mention that birds eat worms raw

materials? Birds "to the" walking down the facts to the contrary, it sounds...

and was gone." “Several of nature's people I know, and they know me; I feel for them a transport

Of cordiality; But never met this fellow, Attended or alone, Without a tighter

breathing, And zero at the bone.”

These conclusion sections is relatively and simple to read. A typical human interaction

will always be in the majority of people are afraid of snakes - a very common fear.

An idea needs further and the trend Dickinson, including her - no feeling of fear, she

can not be slip to a snake.(and its accommodating physiological changes, such as

tighter breathing).

Nature is joy and beauty, without warning, for no apparent reason, it can become

a threat, hazard. Sometimes nature is connected with death or annihilation, or

perceived as renewable - or continued power, or indifferent to human characteristics.
