Emily Dickinson is world renown among poets and those who love literature for her emphasis on both thought and feeling.
She is considered a master of form and syntax and is often called 'a poet of paradox'.
Generally speaking her poems tend to be short and they usually use only one voice (which is not necessarily that of the poet). She published well over 1800 poems of which only a handful of them were titled as is the case of the poem listed here.
Notice her use of form and paradox in referring to hope as a thing with feathers, something that never asks for anything in return.
Answer: C. The events of the Inferno take place before Dante was exiled from Florence.
Dante Alighieri was an Italian poet, writer and political thinker. He is the author of <em>The Divine Comedy</em>, considered one of the greatest works of Mediaeval literature. The work draws on Dante's experience of exile from his native city in Florence. However, the events of <em>Inferno</em> take place before Dante was exiled from Florence. Inferno is the first section of this epic poem, the other two being <em>Purgatory</em> and <em>Paradise</em>.
