    "The Flake the Wind exasperate" By Emily Dickinson [Analysis]

    The Flake the Wind exasperate [1] More eloquently lie [2] Than if escorted to its Down [3] By Arm of Chivalry. [4]
    Poem 1361 [F1410] "The Flake the Wind exasperate" Analysis by David Preest [Poem]

    This poem comes in a letter (L472) to Mary, the wife of Thomas Higginson, offering her comfort in her sorrow at the death of her father on 27 July 1876. The poem is preceded by the sentences, 'I hope you may sometime be so strong as to smile at now That is our Hope's criterion, for things that are are ephemeral, but those to come long and besides, The Flake the Wind exasperate...' The poem says that the Flake tossed by the wind will speak 'more eloquently' about its resting-place than if it had been escorted to its soft bed by some chivalrous knight. In other words, we shall appreciate heaven more, if we have suffered on earth.
