1、A Bird came down the Walk summary“A Bird came down the Walk” The poet encounters a bird on the walk. The bird eats an angleworm, drink a dew from the grass, and hop sidewise to let a beetle pass. The bird then glances around and apparently is frightened. The poet offers the bird a crumb but the bird
2、 takes flight. The poet observes that the flight of the bird is softer than that of a boat being rowed on the water or that of butterflies plunging soundlessly into space. The most remarkable feature of this poem is the imagery of its final stanza, in which Dickinson provides one of the most breath-taking descriptions of flying in all of poetry. Simply by offering two quick comparisons of flight and by using aquatic motion (rowing and swimming), she evokes the delicacy and fluidity of moving through air.
