Analysis of All but Death, can be Adjusted
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
All but Death, can be Adjusted—
Dynasties repaired—
Systems—settled in their Sockets—
Citadels—dissolved—
Wastes of Lives—resown with Colors
By Succeeding Springs—
Death—unto itself—Exception—
Is exempt from Change—
