Hope is a strange invention by Emily Dickinson

Hope is a strange invention --
A Patent of the Heart --
In unremitting action
Yet never wearing out --

Of this electric Adjunct
Not anything is known
But its unique momentum
Embellish all we own --


Personal Reflection

In these days when we are constantly confronted by televised suffering, global warning, subprime loan crisis, and oil price hike, we keep asking ourselves, "How could this thing happen? I cannot believe this." Hope itself seems to be the most unbelievable things of all.

In her Hope is a strange invention, Emily Dickinson gives the reader a wonderful idea of what hope really is. Although we cannot see or hold it ("Of this electric Adjunct / Not anything is known"), it lives in our human hearts ("A Patent of the Heart"), and it is what runs our lives ("In unremitting action / Yet never wearing out") and gives meaning to everything we do ("its unique momentum / Embellish all we own").

Sorry! I don't believe that hope is the patent of the heart.

You need to have the faith of a child to believe what Dickinson conveys in her poem.

It's interesting to discover that Emily Dickinson once wrote a poem entitled "Faith" is a fine invention:

"Faith" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see—
But Microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency.

Keywords are when and emergency.

In these days, "Hope" is the most unbelievable things of all.

Another version of Emily Dickinson's "Faith" is a fine invention:

"Faith" is a fine invention
For Gentlemen who see—
But Microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency.
