The poem is really cheerful :) I thought at first it was all about drinking, and nothing else too. But somehow, it was too realistic and logical to be talking about drinking only. I like your comment of "I think Dickinson was hinting us the 'intoxicating' beauty of nature." Alcohol is made from natural conditions after all, and you phrased it nicely of how people can enjoy the beauty of nature in many aspects. I also like how you empahsize that the poem has a bit different point of view of being drunk, not on really alcohol, but on nature, and how it is more pleasant and easier to cope with stress.
By putting in the overall sense of drunkeness of the persona, I think Dickinson was hinting to us the “intoxicating” beauty of nature. After this thought I read through the poem one more time and all the words and phrases finally clicked in.

I especially like the insight into the poem of this part. I thought too that the second line was about something else, but with your interpretation, I understand now how the two lines relate to the rest of the poem. I like how you've noticed there are eleven syllables in those two lines. The two lines seem special (which they probably are) and seem to contain the main points of the poem.
I like that poem!! it's very sincere and sad but beautiful. I agree that Shakespeare probably put that eleven syllable lines in purpose. I mean, he's THE ingenious writers of all times.
Therefore it makes sense that he was doing this intentionally. Like King Lear and Macbeth, Shakespeare has once again shown us the very emotions that we feel when we love, and he has put it into words for our hearts to feel.

I like the poem!! it's very sinecere and pretty. I agree that Shakespears probably but that eleven syllable lines in purpose. I mean, he is the most ingenious writer of all times.
