Title divine - is mine! by Emily Dickinson
Analysis
"Title divine - is mine!" is a poem written by Emily Dickinson. This poem is about how the author feels like a wife, even though she isn't one. She feels like a Royal, but without the crown. However, when you hold Gold against Gold they look the same. But the poem takes a turn when she states, "Born - Bridalled - Shrouded - / In a Day - Tri Victory". She feels as if she was born, wed, and died all in the same day through not truly being married. But why is that a victory? The only connection would be religion. They are part of the seven sacraments. She ends by asking "Is this - the way?" Perhaps she is feeling as if she is going against God since she isn't married.
This is a one stanza poem with fifteen lines. Dickinson wrote this in couplet rhymes.
Johnson number: 1072
