Take a close look at lines from emily dickinson’s poem “a narrow fellow in the grass” the grass divides as with a comb a spotted shaft is seen and then it closes at your feet and opens further on how do these lines reflect the meaning of the poem?

Emily Dickinson usually wrote about life and after-death subjects. But In this poem she wrote about the animal world, for which we can imply that what she is describing is possibly a snake.

.."A Narrow Fellow in the Grass” .

When she writes fellow, she might be talking about a snake, which is thin and long, and when it moves in the grass causes an effect as if it were "combing it"

--"The grass divides as with a comb.."

Also we can imply that she is writing about a person lying on the grass, that is being approached by the animal.

..."A spotted shaft is seen

Shaft: The dictionary defines it as a long, narrow part or section forming the handle of a tool or club, the body of a spear or arrow, or similar.

Again, it fits the description of the animal above mentioned.

the answer is slaves

douglas was a slave who turned into a statesman and he refused to celebrate the 4th of july until all slaves were emancipated or set free.
