Apr. 5th, 2008 03:45 pmIt's a beautiful day for some Emily Dickinson! She liked to write about death -- and bees!
Okay, end of my Buffy moment.
I actually have two poems for you today, or rather a poem and a song; the first is a portion of The Chariot, by Emily Dickinson, which I have underlined and dogeared in my old 1940s edition of Twentieth Century American Poetry. It introduced me to Emily, as well as EA Robinson, TS Eliot, Witter Bynner, Vachel Lindsay, and ee cummings. Good little second-hand book I picked up when I was fourteen; best two dollars I ever spent.
The second poem is a song entitled Emily Dickinson and sung by musician par excellence Pete Morton; it's in regular rotation on my mp3 player.
Grand go the years in the crescent above them;
Worlds scoop their arcs, and firmaments row
( The Chariot )
I'm in love with Emily Dickinson
That's why I've never wed
( Emily Dickinson )
