 The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson         187-199                                 read for 30mins


XXII

"The bustle in a house
 The morning after death
 Is solemnest of industries
 Enacted upon earth,-  

  The sweeping up the heart
  And putting love away
  We shall not want use it again
  Until eternity."

        This book is a collection of poems written by Emily Dickinson, of whom i am a big fan. the book covers poems about Life, Love, Nature, Time and Eternity, (My favorite section) and the single hound, which i don't really understand.
        The reason i used that poem is because i find that that poem is one that i can decipher completely and i appreciate how truthful it is, having felt that way before.
         I love these poems, even though they are somewhat hard to understand, i just love how deep they are!

   A Timeless Classic like this deserves 5 STARS.
