Asked by Quandra
Read the excerpt from "A Bird, came down the Walk -” by Emily Dickinson.
Like one in danger, Cautious,
I offered him a crumb,
And he unrolled his feathers,
And rowed him softer Home -
Than Oars divide the Ocean,
Too silver for a seam,
Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon,
Leap, splashless as they swim.
How does the capitalization in the final stanza underscore the tone of wonder?
by recalling the speaker’s past experiences
by emphasizing the imagery of delicate flight
by showing the ocean as a place of amazing creatures
by describing home as a place all creatures long for

by emphasizing the imagery of delicate flight
Dickinson’s unusual capitalization elevates nouns like “Oars,” “Ocean,” and “Butterflies,” drawing attention to their graceful, almost miraculous motion and reinforcing the speaker’s sense of wonder at the bird’s delicate, splashless movement.
