Analysis: " Through What Transports of Patience" by Emily Dickinson

Uploaded by

1) The poem describes the speaker's "transports of patience" in reaching a state of "stolid bliss" without their beloved. 2) The speaker asks that their ability to "breathe my blank without thee" and bleak exultation in this state "attest" or prove this to them. 3) The speaker prays that through this same "bleak exultation" they can get "as near as this" to the privilege of their beloved dying, which would abbreviate or lessen their current state.

"Through what transports of Patience"

By Emily Dickinson
[Analysis]
Through what transports of Patience [1]
I reached the stolid Bliss [2]
To breathe my Blank without thee [3]
Attest me this and this -- [4]
By that bleak exultation [5]
I won as near as this [6]
Thy privilege of dying [7]
Abbreviate me this -- [8]
Poem 1153 [F1265]
"Through what transports of Patience"
Analysis by David Preest
[Poem]
The 'thee' of line 4 is perhaps her beloved master, and Emily is describing the 'stolid Bliss' and the 'bleak Exultation' of at last after
'transports of Patience' being able to live her days without him. Various things in her behaviour 'attest' that she has reached this sort of bliss.
Then she prays by that same 'bleak Exultation,' which she only just managed to attain, that this state may be 'abbreviated' by his 'privilege
of dying,' as that will be one step nearer to them enjoying a less stolid bliss together in heaven.
