Think Inside Than Outside The Box Poem by AshUHlee DurrENDuh

I taste a liquor never brewed -
From Tankards scooped in Pearl -
Not all the Vats upon the Rhine
Yield such an Alcohol!


Stanza One: She experiences a flavor, one that was never prepared or even made into an intoxicating beverage, alcohol. 'From tankard scooped in pearl; ' In a verb matter, using a large cup to shovel up precious, rare crystals/ gems of healing and power discovered under all water, under the sea would ever surrender such an 'alcohol'. 'Not all the vats upon the Rhine' meaning that not ALL of the gems/crystals under the sea were discovered upon white wine. 'Rhine', White and red grapes skinned before fermenting into White Wine.


Inebriate of Air - am I -
And Debauchee of Dew -
Reeling - thro endless summer days -
From inns of Molten Blue -
Stanza Two: Intoxication by and from Earth's atmosphere, From the BEAUTY in nature she is pleased by all substances for example oxygen she and all breathes elates her. Corrupted by this 'alcohol' of moisture that drips upon all green fields, winding through each season's day. As Summer firmly indicates, more hours of SUNLIGHT, a Heavenly season summer is from a temporary place to stay inside Earth under the sky! As God is Light in religious stand points, the 'Inn of molten blue' indicates 'Inn' is a temporary stay of molten blue, the sky.

When 'Landlords' turn the drunken Bee
Out of the Foxglove's door -
When Butterflies - renounce their 'drams'
I shall but drink the more!

Stanza Three:
As Earth, can be the 'Inn', a temporary stay for all humanity, all souls the 'Landlord' in reference to a higher power of religious value, God who gave all this world, the water, the air, the land turns to 'Drunken Bee' indicating of two lessons of this planet, Earth to keep it green. Nature in Beauty, One lesson is To NOT be inactive to provide care to this blessed world and to NOT get 'stung' meaning in terms of do not hurt this Earth. Do not destroy it. Foxglove's, a plant of this earth with purple and white thimbles. To define purple in its' color of energy, purple is Peace of Mind. Those who seek spiritual fulfillment and mystery of human brain's expansion of imagination as white's energy is of purity and loyal love. Symbolizes a virgin, which will bring a FRESH NEW beginning opening the 'door'. A moveable barrier that can open and close to an entrance way. As butterflies continue to take in the nectar of each living plant, a flower Emily will be in constant happiness of nature in its' own beauty forever, infinitely. 'I shall drink more! ' She will live among the nature of beauty having a peaceful, eager mind to all of what she is surrounded by.
Till Seraphs swing their snowy Hats -
And Saints - to windows run -
To see the little Tippler
Leaning against the - Sun -
Stanza Four:
Until all angels create images in all cloud formations found in the sky, those who are righteous in God's sight to an opening construct in the wall to admit light and air of the frame, she leans herself against the window embracing the beauty of the nature she lives in.

In my own interoperation of Emily Dickinson's poem, she uses the metaphor of intoxication and drunkenness to express her exhilarating outcome in expression to the beauty in nature itself brings absolute joyfulness and happiness to her. In Stanza Four, 'Leaning against the sun' it gives the reader of her poetry throughout the entire poem that she can be considered a drinker, in all cases one who drinks often will stagger and lean against objects. But in my own conclusion, thinking more into the given words of Emily's poetry she is simply implying that the beauty within Nature, the joyfulness happiness she feels from all its' beauty can be determined into intoxication of one who drinks alcohol. She leans against an opened window, looking out embracing the nature of this Earth she is surrounded in. It is simple, Nature is Beauty. Her own 'liquor' is precious, it is the experience 'taste' of the beauty, the flavor 'liquor' that was never ever prepared or made into an alcoholic beverage from man.
