In the first stanza, Emily Dickinson uses a metaphorical image of a bird to conjure an image of Hope in our minds. By saying "Hope is the thing with feathers" she also personifies hope, which is an inanimate object, but by giving hope feathers, she begins to display something animate. There is also symbolism in saying Hope is the thing with feathers, for a Dove is usually "Hope".
Emily Dickinson uses a four-line stanza structure, known as a quatrain, in the poem "Hope Is the Thing with Feathers." Each stanza consists of four lines with alternate rhyming patterns.
