What does purple refer to in Emily Dickinson's poem "We Like March"?What does purple symbolize in this poem and to whom the "he" refer to? What is...

In Dickinson's poem "We Like March", March is personified.
(Personification is the giving of human characteristics to non-human and non-living
things.) March is referring spring (the first day of spring is March
20th).

The reference to the color purple is made
given

purple
has a special, almost sacred place in nature: lavender, orchid, lilac, and violet
flowers are often delicate and considered
precious.

This definition of
the color reiterates the use of it in coherence with
springtime.

The entire poem is an ode to "March" and the
coming of spring. March, given its ability to "make mud" references the spring rains
which bring the flowers- many which could be purple given the shoes spoke of in the poem
can be an image referencing the flowers which will bloom at the feet (on earth) of
March.

Therefore, the color purple can reference two
things. First, the flowers which bloom at the onset of spring. Second, purple's place
upheld in nature as being special and sacred.
