Analyze "That I did always love"

Using the Emily Dickinson Analysis and Thematic Analysis knowledge points

• In "That I did always love" (Poem 549), the speaker declares that love is an absolute, constant state of existence: "That I did always love / I bring thee Proof / That till I loved / I never lived - Enough -".
• The poem argues that love is eternal, transcending even death, showing it to be completely unwavering and absolute.

Analyze "Why do I love' You, Sir?"

Using the Emily Dickinson Analysis and Thematic Analysis knowledge points

• In "Why do I love' You, Sir?" (Poem 480), the speaker explains that love cannot be reasoned or explained, comparing it to natural, inevitable phenomena: "The Wind does not require the Grass / To answer Wherefore when he pass / She cannot keep her cover / ... / Because He is - / And Noise is - / And the Silence - / And I - because I love / Thee -".
• This portrays love as an inherent, unquestionable, and absolute force that exists simply because it must, without condition or change.

Compare the themes of love

Using the Thematic Analysis knowledge point

• Both poems by Emily Dickinson depict love not as a source of pain, a transformative journey, or a struggle against odds, but as an inherent, constant, and unquestionable reality.
• Therefore, in both poems, love is described as unwavering and absolute.
