“‘Faith’ is a Fine Invention”
Emily Dickinson, author of “ ‘Faith’ is a Fine Invention,” (also known as Poem 185) was a woman of multiple dimensions. ... In Poem 185 however, this method is not implicated, and despite it’s size, “ ‘Faith is a Fine Invention” illustrates perfectly Dickinson’s unique perspective on the world around her. ... The mood is playful, alluding to the more serious topic of the insecurity and intangibility of faith in terms of it being an alternative to actual science.
The poem is about faith and man’s counter-approach to it, that being science. Candid in nature, the poem is basically saying that faith is all fine and could as long as everything is laid out in front of man in an obvious fashion. However, when it comes to something that is unexplainable, something that fallible faith cannot define, man’s creation of science is much more quick to give reason to the unknown.
