Emily Dickinson [2]
Sunset [3]
Dickinson [4]

Emily Dickinson?s ?Part Two: Nature? is littered with a number of metaphors comparing the evening sunset to a sweeping housewife. Dickinson?s comparisons of the two allow the reader to easily visualize the hues of the evening sky more clearly in his or her head. ?Part Two: Nature? refers to Dickinson?s ?Nature, Part I?, a poem written about the gentle Mother Nature, her creations, and her personality. ?Part Two: Nature? describes the setting sun in the eastern sky, comparing it to a sweeping and hard-working housewife. Dickinson?s poem begins at the start of the setting of the sun and ends with a vision of the sun disappearing - softly into the stars (line 11). Dickinson compares the sun to a housewife, referring to the sun as a ?she? and a ?you? and not just merely as an ?it?.
