Emily dickenson poem
4 Answers
I'm looking for a poem by emily dickenson of which I hear a small portion on a TV program highlighting her life. Here are the things I can remember. It was written from the perspective of a dead person in a casket, a mosulieum and there was another dead person next to her and she spoke of their hands reaching towards one another as the moss or ivy grew over them. Something to that affect. Also mentioned the veins in the marble I think.
Thank you

Hello there,
This might just be the one you are searching for?
It doesn't contain the veins in the ,arble though.
This site:~
http://www.bartleby.com/113/
Lists ALL of Emily Dickinson's poems,but there are 597 of them, and although most are short it may take you a while to hit on the right one (if this isn't).
I Died for beauty, but was scarce
Adjusted in the tomb,
When one who died for truth was lain
In an adjoining room.
He questioned softly why I failed?
�For beauty,� I replied.
�And I for truth,�the two are one;
We brethren are,� he said.
And so, as kinsmen met a night,
We talked between the rooms,
Until the moss had reached our lips,
And covered up our names.

Hey! Thanks, not too morbid at all. I actually have a lot of grave site pix I took. To me it's art. I love life and don't see this transitional part (death) as much more than changing buses. Certainly making it easier to embrace and assisting in the belief of the masses. Morbidity would have to assume much darker proportions before I would turn. It should be as big a deal as a birth, hehehe it is! I love this website you sent, I found Carolyn Jones on it a year ago, she's buried 1 hour away, I still have many gravesites to visit.
Thanks!
Thanks!
