I Taste a Liquor Never Brewed

In Emily Dickinson's I Taste a Liquor Never Brewed, Dickinson describes what she enjoys in life. She writes "Inebriate of Air--Am I--And Debaucheree of Dew," showing that she gets drunk off of life. She doesn't find the need to drink alcohol, when she has life to live. She gets her fun out of simply living life. She doesn't find it necessary to get inebriated off of alcohol. This poem serves as a metaphor to being drunk. She considers the enjoyment she gets our of nature to the feelings one gets from drinking. This poem speaks well to nature, and how the effects it can have on people. For the speaker, it gives her a drunkenness and gleefulness matched by alcohol. She enjoys nature so much that she considers it superior to the finest brew.
