  • "I heard a Fly buzz—when I died" is the informal name for an untitled poem by American author Emily Dickinson. In the poem, the narrator is on her deathbed as she describes the progression towards her death. The piece has been extensively analyzed by literary critics throughout its publication history. Such critics have theorised a diverse range of interpretations that specifically address the appearance of a fly in the poem. In 1978, Clarence Gohdes wrote an article in The New England Quarterly proposing that the fly be classified as a bluebottle fly. On the other hand, Eugene Hollahan from the University of North Carolina believes the representation is an "emissary of Satan". Although theories regarding the symbolism around the fly diverge, the imagery surrounding the corpse imitates that of a deathbed. The speaker reflects on the moment she died, recalling the moment of grief as witnessed by those observing her passing. (en)
