Question

In her poem "I Never Saw A Moor" Emily Dickinson affirms that she is certain of Heaven just in the same way she is certain of the reality of many other things she has not seen first hand?

1) True
2) False

Answer 1

True Emily Dickinson expresses her certainty of heaven without having seen it, similar to her certainty of the moor and the sea's existence, indicating a positive affirmation to the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

True, in her poem "I Never Saw A Moor," Emily Dickinson affirms that she does not need to see the moor or the sea to understand their existence, nor does she need to witness God to comprehend heaven.

She draws an analogy between the certainty of belief in unseen geographical locations and the certainty of belief in the spiritual realm of heaven. Her confidence in the existence of these unseen realities is articulated through her rich poetic language, emphasizing faith and imagination.
