Deep Lady

301:
(x)- There are rour lines per stanza that all begin with, "I reason,..." and end with, "But what of that?"
(does)- This repetition emphasizes that she reasons, but cannot make something of it, or is asking the reader what can made of her reasoning. It also makes the poem look and sound very even and kind of symmetrical? In a way?
(means)- I think that this means through thinking something, it does not prove it. Maybe she is trying to make a point that people can have their opinions and reason about anything they want, but that does not mean that thats the only and right way. It is worth examining it because it seems like Dickinson through her poem is trying to get the reader, or maybe even herself, to think on a deeper level and obtain understanding about everything in life by almost admitting that nothing can really be made of what you think, or that different things can be made of it by different people.

435:
(x)-There is some slight repetition, but it is kind of opposing repetition. "Much madness" and then "much Sense" is what she says in the first and third line. Also, the opposition of the second line, "Much Sense-the starkest madness".
(does)- These two phrases, although kind of a repetition, they are opposing eachother. I think she used the same word "much" to emphasize that there is a lot of both, but madness and sense are opposite things. It shows the opposition between madness and sense. But then, this is where I get thrown off, she says that sense is madness and this totally mixes things up and gets you thinking very deeply.
(means)- I honestly don't exactly understand what she means by this poem, but what I do get out of it is that somehow, she is relating madness and sense because I guess she thinks they have a lot to do with eachother.

822
(x)-The only repetition I saw in this poem is that there are four lines for every stanza (which there are four of). Although I did not see any opposition, what I did notice is that there are only 2 sentences for the whole poem, one for the first three stanzas and then one for the last.
(does)-What this does is it kinda is makes it into a flowing super short story. In my head, it doesn't sound like a typical poem going in a certain beat/measure type of thing, it just sounds like someone saying something to you, it is just laid out to separate thoughts, perhaps to emphasize each thing she says by making it stand alone.
(means)-Maybe this means that she has this deep thought she was thinking and wants to write it out to somehow get the reader to understand what she was thinking/feeling. I think the fact that the last stanza is its own sentence is significant because maybe its meaning that its very important and that is what she wants to stand out as the most important idea of the poem.

670
(x)- She repeats "One need not be ...." in the first two lines. She also repeats, "far safer" in lines 5 and 9, the first line of the 2nd and 3rd stanza.
(does)-Its emphasizing that you don't need to be something and claims that its safer for something else.
(means)-I think what this poem is talkign about is the danger of your own mind? Again, I really don't compltely understand what she is trying to say, but I do know that its important to see that she is emphasizing that your mind is more than a material place so you don't need to be a chamber nor a house because its "far safer" elsewhere. This poem also sounds kind of creepy, and sounds sort of psychological like this is you in your head type of stuff.

632
(x)-Begins each of her 3 stanza's (4 lines each) with "The Brain" and each stanza contains a description of the brain/what it does/can do. Also, there is rhyme in each stanza, the 2nd and 4th line rhyme. Another thing I noticed is she doesnt have any puncutation, she only uses a dash - for everything.
(does)-Again, kind of like the first poem but more so, this poem sounds very even/symmetrical and puts a lot of emphasis on her subject, "The Brain". The rhyme makes it sound very much like a poem with rhythym, not like some of the other poems that kind of flow like a quick story.
(means) What I think is the most important thing to look at is her lack of proper punctuation and her use of the dash. I think the meaning behind it is to get you to stop and think about what was just said and what you are about to read and make your own connection between the two because they are not gramattically conneced which probably gets you to think deeply about it.

937
(x)-In this poem, like many of the other, the only repetition I saw was in her structure of the poem, 4 lines in both stanzas and the rhyme in the 2nd and 4th line just like in poem 632 except one less stanza.
(does)-This poem is kind of like those story poems except its more poetic than some because of the rhyme which makes it more of a typical poem read.
(means)-Im not sure what the repetition means or if there is any opposition, because I didn't see anything, so maybe that means she has a simple thing to tell and it doesn't need to have repetition or opposition and that in itself is emphasizing what she has to say. Also, I ddin't really like this poem because I hate that feeling when you forget something and you know you forgot it and you can't remember it no matter how hard you try. That is the best way I've ever heard it being described.

I think I got the same

I think I got the same meaning as you for 670. I also thought she was talking about how destructive our minds can be to ourselves. I'm not entirely sure what you meant by, "its "far safer" elsewhere." Do you mean that we are safer outside of our mind, or at least we are safer if we don't isolate ourselves in our mind?

When she is talking about

When she is talking about "far safer" she is talking about how it is safer to go to meet someone at midnight or go through abbey alone (dangerous things), than to be left alone with her own mind.
