Answer 1

Answer:

A. Nature as a source of divine revelation

Dickinson often used natural imagery to explore deeper spiritual and existential questions. In her poems, nature serves as a mirror reflecting humanity and divinity. Her observations of nature, like bees, birds, and seasons, are used to convey themes of life, death, and immortality. The natural world provides a pathway to understanding the divine.
