Emily Dickinson's White Dress

in #poetry8 years ago

Emily Dickinson wore only white after her father died. It is speculated she wore it to "escape death" as it was an innocent and pure color she wrote about often. There is also speculation she found it intense.... as in "white hot heat". She wore this dress almost daily after her father's death. Emily-Dickinson-1.jpg

Did you know that the traditional colour of mourning for the Chinese was white?

You should read the poem on here like you did on FB live :)

I don't see that option, for videos.
