Content and Style in Emily Dickinson's Poems — Quiz

Question 9 • Literature and Composition I

Read these lines from "Heart, we will forget him" by Emily Dickinson. You may forget the warmth he gave, I will forget the light. How would the mood of these lines change if "warmth” were replaced with "coolness”?

Answer
A
The mood would be less frightening.
B
The mood would be less affectionate.
C
The mood would be more humorous.
D
The mood would be more playful.

Explanation

“Warmth” suggests comfort, care, and affection, so it makes the memory sound tender. Replacing it with “coolness” would remove that affectionate feeling and make the lines seem more distant. The mood would therefore be less affectionate.
