The Bustle in a House
The Morning after Death
Is solemnest of Industries
Enacted upon Earth— The Sweeping up the Heart
And puttting Love away
We shall not want to use again
Until Eternity
Dickinson discusses death and the grief that follows it. The central focus of this poem is what comes after a person dies. After someone dies, all of the people who loved that person are left behind. They are left to worry about the deceased and their obituary, funeral, life insurance, inheritance, etc. Those people are also left to grieve and let them go until one day they meet again in heaven.
This poem discusses a somber subject, but has a peaceful ending. Death is sad, especially when you lose a person you love.This poem will reflect some part of everyone's life, because some day you will lose someone you love. It's really hard to lose someone, which I have learned from experience, but one of the only valuable parts of this lesson is meeting with them again. I look forward to being with the people I have loved and lost again, how about you?
