Starry Night

I think that in this poem she connects her fears with imaginative creatures for example the “great dragon”, “rushing beast of the night”, and “unseen serpent”. In the end, the poem gets shorter and it seems like if it fades into nothing. She wants to decide how her life will end and form part of the sky. In the poem, the town is described as silent, blank, dead, and the sky is full of life and glory.

After reading this poem, I thought that the earth is insignificant, like empty, and being compared with the sky full of stars and beauty. She is depressed and the only thing she wants to do is to die in the dark night watching all the stars in the sky. And in that way she will find her happiness as the night faded.
