Love is the most recurring emotional theme in Emily Dickinson poetry. Perhaps her unfulfilled emotional life made her understand the magnitude of love and meaning more intensely than any other poet. Dickinson examines the idea of love from several angles, going at once personal and universal dimensions to her expressions. She does not describe an event of love; she portrays the situation, as it were, in the metaphors which speak for themselves. The majority of the love poems deal with the effects of passion upon human soul. Three principal motifs can be observed in her love poems: the anticipation of the lover's future visit an possible marriage; the climatic meeting of the lovers and their resulting separation; and finally the sublimation of the human passion in a celestial marriage as she becomes the Bride of Christ.
