In this poem I believe there was really only one stylistic feature the author used that truly had a big contribution in the overall meaning and tone. Dickinson's use of pauses gave the reader time to really take in each line and analyze it for its entirety. After reading the poem, I felt it had a very serious, almost melancholy, tone. There were also other stylistic features Dickinson used that proved to be effective, but to a much lesser degree than her use of pauses. The rhyme scheme she came up with in the poem gave the reader a sense of rhythm and made each line memorable. Dickinson uses this feature and proves that poems don't always have to be long to show meaning. In other words, with the use of rhyme Dickinson was able to successfully get a insightful point across in a minimal amount of words. She was able to make the reader think.
