Analysis and comments on 'Tis not that Dying hurts us so by Emily Dickinson

Comment 1 of 1, added on July 10th, 2005 at 8:13 PM.

i love the first two lines of this poem. death, to me, is nothing to be
feared, it is a release, and for those of us who are Christian, it is a
homecoming to God, which im sure Emily believed. Living, life, is worse
than death is some ways, it amazes me how people dont realize this most of
the time.
