Great Regulars: The speaker in Emily Dickinson's

"Like Some Old fashioned Miracle" recreates the wistful yet strong feelings that rage in the heart of one who loves the summer season above all others. She feels such agony that the season is ending, yet she finds it miraculous that the world continues with such beauty and abundance. The "old fashioned miracle" is the only way she can describe the conflict that rages in her heart; it is as if love and despair had struggled for supremacy, and love wins against great odds.
