For such as thee to die!" -Emily Dickinson
             Nobody Knows This Little Rose was one of Emily Dickinson's most criticized poems. It's explaining that if she left, would anyone noticed that she left? She puts emotion through this stating that if she left the world, she could be someone important but no one would really care. Dickinson portrays herself as the rose. That no one really care about her, about a rose, about her life. Through Nobody Knows This Little Rose, we see great analysis and insight. It can be taken as a symbol, a means of communicating with another person, and took on added meaning. What was she saying to the other person? Thank you? I love you? I'm sorry? Nobody knows, and it really doesn't matter, because the poem is not about that relationship. Some say it seems to be about selecting a part of nature out of a considerably wide-ranging and interacting whole and isolating it as a symbol or vehicle of communication. The rose is given a new importance. Maybe, if she had given the other person a bird, or a butterfly, which arguably could be as easily overlooked, she would have given that bird or that butterfly the added meaning instead and perhaps conveyed an entirely different meaning to the recipient.
