I’m nobody! Who are you?

I’m nobody! Who are you?A
Are you nobody, too? A
Then there’s a pair of us – don’t tell!B
They’d banish us, you know!C

How dreary to be somebody!D
How public like a frogE
To tell one’s name the livelong dayF
To an admiring bog! E

-Emily Dickinson

•I’m nobody! Who are you? : I am me. Who are you?
•Are you nobody, too? : Are you like me too?
•Then there’s a pair of us – don’t tell! : Then we’re alike – keep it a secret!
•They’d banish us, you know! : Were excluded, they would make us even more excluded!
•How dreary to be somebody! : How scary it would be to be someone!
•How public like a frog : to have publicity like a frog
•To tell one’s name the Livelong day: to have someone know your name everywhere
•To an admiring bog! : To someone who is poor!

This poem is pretty straight forward in what it means. I think that she is writing a Who Am I? poem. I believe she was saying that because of what she does she would be famous and she did not want that, that she doesn’t want anyone to look at her differently because of her poetry, if someone was like her in one way or another then not to say anything, when you see a frog they usually are in a museum or zoo or in a river so that would be public, and everywhere you went someone would know your name and point out who you were.

Emily Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830 to Edward and Emily (Norcross) Dickinson, in Amherst, Massachusetts. She was the second child of three. She was very social. One friendship was important to her as she became a poet as a teenager. Benjamin Franklin Newton worked for her father at the law office. He helped her gain interest in literary and was the first to point out her talent and encouraged her to continue writing. He married and moved away to Amherst and stayed in touch with Emily through letters. He died in 1853 at age thirty-two.
Emily had a rough life. Her nephew, Gilbert died in 1883; it was a huge loss for Emily. He was only eight years old. Emily’s social life was crashing. As she got older she became aware of the gap more and more between her family and herself. Intelligence and religions were differences between are what separated them.
She liked privacy and kept a lot private. When she wanted publicity was in 1862 when she wrote to the famous Thomas Wentworth Higginson a response to his “Advice to a your Contributor” of the April 1862 Atlantic Monthly.
During her life she only published seven poems. Her close friend Susan became her sister-in-law and the only person Emily would read her poems to. Emily never cared about money or fame when she wrote. When Emily died she told her sister to burn all of her poems so her sister published all of her poems and then burned the originals. Emily died of kidney disease at age fifty-five on may 15, 1886. She and Walt Whitman are two of the greatest American poets of the nineteenth century. They were different in many ways. Emily’s writing style was lyrical poems.

Some of her poems are:

• An altered look about the hills
• An awful tempest mashed the air
• As if some little arctic flower
• Come slowly, Eden!
• The daisy follows soft the sun
• The gentian weaves her fringes
• Going to heaven!
• Heart, we will forget him!
• I bring an unaccustomed wine
• If I should die
• I had a guinea golden
• I have not told my garden yet
• I never lost as much but twice
• Morns like these we parted
• The murmur of a bee
• New feet within my garden go
• The rose did caper on her cheek
• Success is counted sweetest
• These are the days when birds come back
• What inn is this
• Who robbed the wood

Edward
Edward is so dreamy
He makes my thoughts go weary
So handsome and brave
He can save
The day
Has money to pay
Bella is his wife
And Renesmee brightens his life
