        <description><![CDATA[I do not know that Emily Dickinson in &quot;A Narrow Fellow in the Grass&quot; does refer to the snake as a friend. You may have read &quot;boy&quot; as different from the poet, as well. (&quot;Yet when a boy...I&quot; equates the male with the poet.) In the second stanza, Dickinson assumes the role of a boy, who would be more likely to grab at something that dazzles him.  So, the poem is written throughout from the point of view of a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Dickinson relies mainly on metaphors as she refers to the snake as a &quot;narrow fellow ...[that] rides [the grass],&quot; a &quot;spotted shaft,&quot; and &quot;a whiplash unbraiding in the sun&quot; as it sheds its skin. She uses a simile in &quot;the grass divides as with a comb&quot; to describe the action of the snake moving through the grass. &quot;Nature's people,&quot; which refers to other animals, is an example of personification...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Remember that a large part of the Romantic movement involves nature.  Imagination, the supernatural, the individual over society as a whole, and emotion as opposed to reason are other aspects of Romanticism.   In Emily's poems she often questions society as a whole, she is almost always commenting on nature (which she loved and spent much of her time outside in the gardens of her home).  This is especially true of &quot;A Narrow Fellow in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Romanticism (with a capital &quot;R&quot;) centered around the aesthetics of nature, and often compared the growth and development of animal and plant life to human life and behavior.  We see all of this at work in &quot;A narrow fellow in the grass.&quot;  Here is the poem in its entirety:A narrow Fellow in the GrassOccasionally rides--You may have met Him--did you notHis notice sudden is--The Grass divides as with a Comb--A spotted shaft...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Imagery is the use of words by an author that evoke a certain image in the mind of the reader.  Common imagery is the use of similar images, or related images, throughout a piece of writing.In this poem, nature imagery - references to the grass, the acre, etc. - are common.  Also, references to the human being - fellow, barefoot, bone - are also common.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Checking out some of the scholarship eNotes provides on this poems validates ane exands upon Jamie’s insigtful response.  According to one critic, the poem is on the one hand realisitic depicting that snake and as such a detailed and imaginative description of an encounter with nature, but the poem is also about “transformation” in viewing nature, which creates “a more woman-centered religion that incorporates a reverence for the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is a sexual poem if you look at some of the symbols.  There is the &quot;spotted shaft&quot; and the snake that &quot;divides the grass as a comb&quot;... references to the sexual organs and the act of intercourse.  However, the imagery is not positive.  The use of the &quot;snake&quot; itself has overtones of biblical evil and the snake is traditionally associated with secretive and vile acts.  Other descriptive words include...]]></description>
