2005-11-12 : 10:15 a.m. "i died for beauty but beauty was scarce"
I Died For Beauty But Was Scarce He questioned softly why I failed? And so, as kinsmen met a night,
Emily Dickinson
I died for beauty but was scarce
Adjusted in the tomb,
When one who died for truth was lain
In an adjoining room.
"For beauty," I replied.
"And I for truth, the two are one;
We brethren are," he said.
We talked between the rooms,
Until the moss had reached our lips,
And covered up our names.
