Dec 10, 2007 The Last Night That She Lived The last night that she lived, It was a common night, Except the dying; this to us Made nature different. We noticed smallest things,— Things overlooked before, By this great light upon our minds Italicized, as 'twere. That other could exist While she must finish quite, A jealousy for her arose So nearly infinite. The last Night that She lived It was a Common Night Except the Dying — this to Us Made Nature different We noticed smallest things — Things overlooked before By this great light upon our Minds Italicized — as 'twere. As We went out and in Between Her final Room And Rooms where Those to be alive Tomorrow were, a Blame That Others could.

The speaker, through the use of diction and punctuation, communicates that she feels this is not a bad thing. The reader can see that it was more of a passing, or moving on to something better.
However, there was still a sadness amongst those who came to witness the passing. The house was quiet and the poem conveys the sense of the uneasy tension that existed. However the speaker mentions that the witnesses held some jealousy for what the dying was passing on to. We can see that though the woman's dying was a sad event, it was not the end for the her or for the witnesses.The poem tells the reader that 'It was a Common Night except for the Dying.' The witnesses all 'noticed smallest things - Things overlooked before.' They 'waited while She passed,' which was, for her, 'a narrow time.'
The dying 'struggled scarce' before she died, and then 'consenting' she was 'dead.' The uneasy witnesses who had been 'out and in' of 'Her final Room,' 'placed the Hair - and drew the Head erect' out of respect. The fact that the woman was dying became a main factor in the lives of all the living who witnessed the occurrence. They all wandered uneasily in and out of the room where the woman was dying, and the diction, such as 'jostled,' 'Italicized.' And 'great light upon our minds,' clearly indicates that they were uncomfortable in this setting.
However, despite their unease, both the speaker and the witnesses knew that this was not an end for the dying. In fact it is mention that they are 'jealous' of what she is 'passing' on to.
The attitude of the speaker towards the woman's is not a dramatic one. Instead, because the speaker knows that the dying did not struggle or experience pain and because the speaker looks at it from a religious stand point, the attitude is one of acceptance and even hope.As stated before, the witnesses present at the woman's dying, all 'noticed smallest things - things overlooked before. In the poem 'The Last Night that She Lived,' Emily Dickinson portrays the human response of those left living after the death of a loved one. Although Dickinson does not attempt to justify the death of her friend, she does express various attitudes that society has towards death. Heightened awareness also allows the group to realize that the only thing uncommon about the night is the dying of their friend.
'A blame that others could exist while she must finish quiet.' In the second to last stanza of the poem, Dickinson presents her attitude that death can not be stopped and thu. Word Count: 453.

His vivid descriptions of how she was seeing fire outside of the car, how she was hallucinating before of how thirsty she was. Once Elizers father had passed away he says that he has absolutely no feelings, but if he were to have any it would probably be 'free at last.'

She Walks In Beauty 1 She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light 5 Which heaven to gaudy day denies. 2 One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face; 10 Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place. 3 And on the cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, 15 But tell of.

By doing so I hope to illustrate that adaptations of A Midsummer Night's Dream are not unrelated events, but part of a larger cultural framework which influences the appearance of each performance. Indeed, Shakespeare's text suggests that the magical creatures of A Midsummer Night's Dream could be explained as physical allegories of nature. Puck'. Word Count: 9832. Approx Pages: 39.

My last first date is an example of this I will never forget. Knowing I had to work late that night, I asked her if she had plans for the late evening, unfortunately she did as she was going camping with friends. It was her, her plans had fallen through and she wanted to get together that night.
