I taste a liquor never brewed by: Emily Dickinson

I feel like Emily Dickinson wrote her poems like there were meant to be a puzzle or a riddle to be figured out. First of all, a liquor that was never brewed would not contain alcohol. So if whatever Emily is getting drunk off of it is not alcohol. The author describes nature and its beauty. However she does this using words related to drinking and being drunk. She says the drunken bee, the butterflies renounce their drams, and inebriate of air. These descriptions all are related to drinking yet they are describing things in nature that can not be drunk. I think she is trying to make the point that nature and beauty make her feel as happy as if she were drunk how ever she does this in a very artistic and creative way.
