Description

Emily Dickinson - I Died For Beauty - Read by Jane Alexander - From the 1988 Voices and Visions series. I Died For Beauty by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) I died for beauty, but was scarce Adjusted in the tomb, When one who died for truth was lain In an adjoining room. He questioned softly why I failed? "For beauty," I replied. "And I for truth - themselves are one; We brethren are," he said. And so, as kinsmen met a night, We talked between the rooms, Until the moss had reached our lips, And covered up our names.
