DEATH IS THE SUPPLE SUITOR by EMILY DICKINSON

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

Last Line: AND KINDRED AS RESPONSIVE %AS PORCELAIN
Subject(s): DEATH;

Death is the supple Suitor
That wins at last -
It is a stealthy Wooing
Conducted first
By pallid innuendoes
And dim approach
But brave at last with Bugles
And a bisected Coach
It bears away in triumph
To Troth unknown
And Kindred as responsive
As Porcelain.
