The Soul has Bandaged moments (Leaving Cert English): Flashcards

Emily Dickinson

Times of intense emotional pain and suffering

Personification of fear that paralyses the soul

Violent yet exhilarating release from suffering

A state of higher being or happiness

Cyclical nature of psychological suffering and relief

Duality of soul's experiences between love and fear

Makes abstract fear tangible and immediate

Creates pauses reflecting fragmented experiences

Coldness and paralysis from psychological trauma

Transient nature of moments of joy

Soul oscillates between extremes of terror and joy

Fear personified as invasive entities haunting the soul

Emotional pain is like physical wound needing healing
