Description

Hello everyone,
Today Kyle and Ben watch episode 9 of Dickinson, in which Emily confronts the spectre of death in her life and grapples with the concept of faith. Also, maybe we need a spin-off show about Lavinia Dickinson?

Emily's Poem this episode is a good-un:

I heard a Fly buzz - when I died -
The Stillness in the Room
Was like the Stillness in the Air -
Between the Heaves of Storm -
The Eyes around - had wrung them dry -
And Breaths were gathering firm
For that last Onset - when the King
Be witnessed - in the Room -
I willed my Keepsakes - Signed away
What portion of me be
Assignable - and then it was
There interposed a Fly -
With Blue - uncertain - stumbling Buzz -
Between the light - and me -
And then the Windows failed - and then
I could not see to see -

Join us as we discuss the show episode by episode, while also reflecting on the grim realities of life in 19th century New England with "charm" and "wit".
