Hope
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 kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me
Analysis
Power Words-
Perches in the soul- Perches meaning resting- The thought of hope is resting in her soul, every day, trying to stay strong, praying that hope will bring her a better tomorrow. Staying true to her beliefs.
Sings the tune- - without the words ,Sweetest in the gale is heard-The vioce is powerful, it's kindly unspoken, the vioce with no words, over coming, loud enough you hear that one vioce over the rest- conscience
Sore must be in the storm- Some people make it rain, the gloomly weather represents you're emotional state. This person could be crying, angry, have some kind of negative energy coming their way.
Abash- as in to destroy ones self-confidence, to make one feel like they are unworthly of greatness. Stop them from believing in themself.
Chillest land- High up in the moutain it is cold, cold representing being lonely, feeling no love, love is warm or hot.
Strangest sea- Wide open water symbolizing being so far out of touch with anyone. Just you and you're minds tricks.
Extremity- To feel extreme need or distress.
Archetypes-
1) Toubled at a young age by thoughts of death
2) Emily shut down her oustide world connections when everyone close to her started dying
3)"That perches in the soul" I believe that this is referring to Emily's own life, in her early years when she was trying to hope for a better tomorrow.
Title -
"Hope"
I think hope is something Emily lacked quite a bit in life. She suffer through many hard time, but never had any faith that they would get better , so in the end things only got worse for her. She couldn't handle the deaths any longer so she shut the outside world down.
