wild nights-wild nights!
this poem by emily dickinson was amusing to me because there was a definate hint of sexual playfulness in it. i interpreted the first line and title of the piece to mean the speaker is referring to hot, wild nights ful of lustfull loving. the first stanza with the word "should" makes me think that the author doesn't get these wild nights all the time that she speaks about. the lines "done with the compass/done with the chart reminded me of a woma's menstral cycle. some couples keep a chart of the woman's period so that they can have sex when she is least likely to get pregnant. the third stanza seems to speak compleatly about a sexal act. she is saying she wants to be in "Eden" in a place of perfection and bliss with her lover.
