Metaphor -yw :)
In the first stanza, Emily Dickinson uses a metaphorical image of a bird to conjure an image of Hope in our minds. By saying "Hope is the thing with feathers" she also personifies hope, which is an inanimate object, but by giving hope feathers, she begins to display something animate. There is also symbolism in saying Hope is the thing with feathers, for a Dove is usually "Hope".
The main symbol of hope tends to be the dove. Sometimes it has an olive (tree) branch.
