THE OVERTAKELESSNESS OF THOSE by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Beyond the hope of touch
Subject(s): DEATH;

The overtakelessness of those
Who have accomplished Death
Majestic is to me beyond
The majesties of Earth.

The soul her "Not at Home"
Inscribes upon the flesh -
And takes her fair aerial gait
Beyond the hope of touch
