The Collected poems of Emily Dickinson 218-227 read for 1/2 hr
I read the time and eternity poems. These are mostly about death and coping with death. They are also about the afterlife.
I love these poems. They are so deep, its amazing. Especially when you see the truth in them. There is something about the way emily writes poetry, it just moves me. I think it moves alot of girls. I read a poem to my friends,
" I died for beauty, but was scarce,
adjusted in the tomb
when one who died for truth was lain
in an ajoining room
he questioned softly why I failed
for beauty i replied
and i for truth the two are one
we brethren are he said..."
They all absolutely loved it. I don't even really get the message, yet I have memorized that poem.
These poems are a work of true beauty. 5 Stars.
