Death is a theme which has elicited much deep and varied emotions from poets through the ages. Accordingly, they have meditated and emotionally and lyrically responded to it. A memorable example is King Lear lamenting the death of his daughter, Cordelia: No, no, no life! Why should a dog, a horse, a rat have life, And thou no breath at all?Thou It come no more, Never, never, never, never, never!( Act V, Scene III)( 1) Thomas H. Johnson, while recognizing that many poets have made death central in much of their poetry, also believes that “ Emily Dickinson did so in hers to an unusual degree.”(2) Death is a prevalent theme in Emily Dickinson’s poetry. Her poems on this theme are scattered through the two volumes which contain her poetic works. It has been mentioned that at least a quarter of all her works deals chiefly with this theme.
