What a Strange Funeral

In Emily Dickinson's I felt a Funeral, in my Brain the narrator tells of a very strange event.  The speaker describes a scene that is similar to a funeral.  There is one sense that is extremely central to the poem.  Hearing is referenced several times throughout the work.  The speaker would things like, "Kept beating-beating-till I thought my mind was going numb-" (Dickinson,776).  This likely is the pounding sensation one gets when they have a throbbing head ache.  She describes the events of the funeral, but she appears to be inside the coffin.  As they bury her, the noice gets louder until it is as if all of heaven is yelling at her.  Finally it all goes quite, and she says she is finished knowing.  This likely means the woman has gone crazy.  The head ache that caused the ringing sound drove her to an insane state that she was not able to return from.
