The speaker, presumably the poet herself, guides us through the dark. She offers advice and assures us that we are all likely to stumble as we step out of the house into the night. However, it will require some time for us to regain clear vision before we can navigate our path with confidence. Along the way, we may encounter obstacles and setbacks, symbolized by running into a tree. Nevertheless, as our eyes gradually acclimate to the darkness, we regain the ability to stand upright and walk the path ahead with confidence.</h3> <div style="text-align: center;">Dickinson is known for her exceptional mastery of figurative devices to articulate her perspectives. By utilizing darkness as a metaphor for the uncertainty of life, she suggests that our vision in the dark is a metaphorical response to this uncertainty. Similarly, the road ahead implies the future of life. In addition, the poet adeptly employs various poetic devices to communicate her deep philosophical insights on life. </div> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size: 20px;">譯文原創(chuàng)/呂丁倩</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size: 20px;">圖片/網(wǎng)絡</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size: 20px;">版權自持，轉發(fā)請署名譯者</b></p>
