Analysis of Departed to the judgment,
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
Departed to the judgment,
A mighty afternoon;
Great clouds like ushers leaning,
Creation looking on.
The flesh surrendered, cancelled
The bodiless begun;
Two worlds, like audiences, disperse
And leave the soul alone.
