The wind begun to rock the grassEmily Dickinson
The Wind begun to rock the Grass Simple past tense- foreground how wind
started moving before it became menacing,
With threatening Tunes and low – would normally rock a baby, but this is more
Wind is personified-dangerous (m vs f) menacing and ominous, movement of grass
He threw a Menace at the Earth – Repetition, menacing diction
A Menace at the Sky.
The Leaves unhooked themselves from Trees -- Leaves are trying to escape
And started all abroad
The Dust did scoop itself like Hands Simile- hands trying to throw the road away
And threw away the Road.
The Wagons quickened on the Streets People hurrying away from home,
personifying wagons, pun, heightens urgency
The Thunder hurried slow – and panic, visual lightning bolts
Oxymoron capturing arrival of storm-ominous
The Lightning showed a Yellow Beak Metaphor, lightning is compared to yellow
furious/angry beak
And then a livid Claw. Storm is still a dangerous foe
The Birds put up the Bars to Nests --
The Cattle fled to Barns --
There came one drop of Giant Rain
And then as if the Hands
enjambment
That held the Dams had parted hold Metaphor,
The Waters Wrecked the Sky, Rain is relentless, cannot see sky because of
its volume
But overlooked my Father's House -- Storm did not touch the house
Just quartering a Tree -- Anti-climatic, more was expected from the
build up of danger
