Au contraire, her poetry was wonderful, and Lawrence Beck and anybody who declares Emily Dickinson flawed, obviously do not have an inkling of her wisdom. Obviously Dickinson had some sort of trauma in her life. Many say it was a love affair that left her bitter and a recluse, however she still had time for the neighborhood children. Mr. Nazir hit the nail on the head, she was superior to her critics.

You love me because I love you. You love me because I am I am. No, no, not at all. Don't try to answer this question otherwise you will invite the greatest folly of life to your pocket.
Why do I love you? Love me for nothing- yes, that's the way.
I really liked the poem for its open question.
Great work.

WOW! I mean I've loved Emily Dickinson for a very long time. Heck, if there was and Emily Dickinson religion I'd worship her FOREVER! lol. It captures the heart and leaves you hanging on its gallows dying to climb back up! xD

'A poem should be equal to:
Not true
For all the history of grief
An empty doorway and a maple leaf
For love
The leaning grasses and two lights above the sea -
A poem should not mean
But be'
- Archibald MacLeish

Yes, indeed - the 'why' of love
and - can't forget
spiritual heights
Of course they have
no clue -
the swerves
and hesitations
of embarrassed
silence
and the hesitant title
-'Why do I love' You, Sir? -
juxtaposing query
and Formal Address
emphasizes the very nature
of unspoken affection
the power and glory
of love

The 'why' of love cannot be explained. It just is.

Captures well the spiritual heights of love. Silence, yet the energy forces of a love's spell upon the person. Though taken from a woman's point of view, it captures the submissiveness of a woman's love, toward a man.

Many famous poems are analyzed online somewhere or other. I searched for: Emily Dickinson 'Why do I love' You, Sir?
and there were many sites. One of them was:

It seemed like a good analysis. You might start there...
