On this episode of Night School, Mr. Wesley Schantz and I discuss two poems by Emily Dickinson: "There is no Frigate like a Book (1286)" and "The Poets light but Lamps — (930)". Specifically, we consider (a) classical images of the soul in "There is no Frigate,"(b) Christian and Greco-Roman imagery in "The Poets,", and (c) some analysis of the metempsychotic function of poetry. What is passed on through the poetic art?
