Decent Essays

Courtney Jurson: Keep Hoping Courtney Jurson: Keep Hoping Even before we were assigned to read Emily Dickinson’s poems, I already was familiar with some of them. Of the ones I had previously read and out of the ones read for HON 211, the most unforgettable is her poem known as Hope is the Think with Feather: “Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all And sweetest in the gale is heard And sore must be the storm That could abash the little Bird That keeps so many warm I’ve heard it in the chilliest land And on the strangest Sea Yet never in Extremity It asked a crumb of me” (Emily Dickinson) This poem is a favorite of mine because of the message it conveys.
