하얀 절망의 양식 : Emily Dickinson의 연시 Emily Dickinson's Love Poems = White Sustenance-Despair

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Emily Dickinson realized that "To renounce is to possess the more." It also becomes her strategy as a poet. Her desire to possess everything made her look for the new value by which she could find a spiritual home. This home is a Heaven for Dickinson, and it is not heaven in the sense of religion, but that of her own subjectivity.
This thesis is an examination of Dickinson's love poems. Some of her love poems deal with intense sexual pleasure describing the intimate act of love. The man and woman in these poems desire the security in each other's arms, the safe harbor of sexual embrace. The poems are like a New Testament of passion and devotion. Dickinson says that; "The sweet Heresy received/ That Man and Woman know―/ Each other's convert―/ Though the Faith accomodate but Tow―"(#387), "Love is like Life―merely longer/ Love is like Death, during the Grave/ Love is the Fellow of the Ressurection ... (#491) ...
Sometimes love is awakening from childhood, ordinary Heaven of husband and home, and sometimes love is a festive marriage ceremony after death. The lovers come together after death, the Judgement Day, here God takes up His role as the master of Ceremonies, entirely obscured by the glory of the lovers. And in some poems the beloved is identified with a husband figure. Given her choice, the speaker would elect a life in which marriage gives passion a permanent home.
Through several sensuous, emotional, psychological reactions of the lovers in her poems, Dickinson creates her heaven of yearning toward love, desire and attraction of the sexual pleasure. Love is a way of getting to Eden on Earth, getting eternity in this life.
Dickinson also deals with a deep frustration and the feeling of loss, and her love poems gradually move to choose renunciation as a strategy for love. For the spiritual union with beloved, the woman in the love poems chooses to part, thinking it is only the possible way of keeping their love. These process shows how much can passion have a deep influence on human spirit. It also tells that Dickinson chooses art rather than relations with peole, longing for an immortal voice through powerful poems.
