Dickinson and Romanticism

Emily Dickinson focused much of her poetry on the idea of Nature and places emphasis on the importance of Nature much as Pope did in his writings. In #68, Dickinson writes of birds, bumblebees, hills and the skies which support her idea of Nature in which she conveys to the reader. Also in #269 she writes of the night skies and of the futile winds also contributing to her idea of nature. She writes of the beauties we all see each and every day of our lives when we take a step back and look at nature as it exists freely.
Dickinson also writes about poverty and sadness. The tone in many of her poems strikes me to be more of a tone of melancholy than anything else. It is almost like she is sad throughout each of her writings. In #340 she speaks of death and a funeral. She focuses on the sadness of death and the details of a funeral and to the reader it's more of a sad tone although some readers do not look at funerals as sadness but instead as a time to rejoice. In #372 Dickinson iterates how pain does not always last and it will eventually turn into a "formal feeling." Like a romantic she writes about her belief that all pain is followed by relief in one way or another.
Although I feel like Dickinson's writings focus on a melancholy environment and sad situations, she has a way of assuring the reader that eventually situations will get better and sorrow turns into happiness after a while. Just like romantics Dickinson believes there is a better situation just waiting around the corner from a bad situation.
