One of the messages in the poem "Before You Thought Of
Spring" by Emily Dickinson is that joy is an emotion that doesn't need an audience - it
can be expressed for the sake of delight itself, and for no more reason that doing so is
fun and rewarding. In many ways, the author presents a poem that is reminiscent of
English poet Thomas Hardy's poem "The Darkling Thrush." In the latter poem, the poet
shares how a bird breaks the gloomy depression of a pessimistic winter atmosphere to
break into song for joy. In Emily Dickinson's poem, a bird is also suggested ("a fellow
in the skies" or hues of "indigo and brown" or "he goes to some superior tree.") The
bird "shouts for joy to nobody But his seraphic self" like an
angel.
