This article discusses the interpretation of Emily Dickinson's poem that includes the word "Checks" in the last line. The word was later changed to "chart" in subsequent publications, but the meaning of "Checks" has remained unclear. The author suggests that the definition of "check" as "checkered cloth" or "to variegate with cross lines" may provide insight into the meaning of the word in the poem. The author also explores Dickinson's reliance on Noah Webster's dictionary and the connection between language, nature, and spirit in her work. The article concludes by discussing the concept of "belief" in Dickinson's poetry and its connection to creating fictive explanations of natural facts. [Extracted from the article] |
