Hermione Lee on Virginia Woolf
In this clip: Dame Hermione Lee
Context/Quote: "Do you remember the lake?" she said, in an abrupt voice, under the pressure of an emotion which caught her heart, made the muscles of her throat stiff, and contracted her lips in a spasm as she said "lake." For she was a child, throwing bread to the ducks, between her parents, and at the same time a grown woman coming to her parents who stood by the lake, holding her life in her arms which, as she neared them, grew larger and larger in her arms, until it became a whole life, a complete life, which she put down by them and said, "This is what I have made of it! This!" And what had she made of it? What, indeed? sitting there sewing this morning with Peter.
From Mrs. Dalloway (1925) by Virginia Woolf

Because I Could Not Stop For Death - Emily Dickinson

Close Transcription: "Because I could not stop for Death - He kindly stopped for me - The Carriage held but just Ourselves - And Immortality.

I can’t believe she didn’t get best actress for this film.
Isnt it supposed to be GAZING grain? Not grazing ?????
I adore Cynthia Nixon's recitation of the great works of Emily Dickinson. I'm all hope Cynthia listens to me and recite all Dickinson's works.
To bad you can't hear this version. This was one of my favorites of Emily as a 12 year old child.
Love this.
I love this poem
I love the line “ the carriage held but just ourselves” - maybe death is an entity that rides WITH us, so for ONCE we aren’t alone… I miss you mama. I’m sorry I stayed here
It's movie scene from A Quiet Passion, The best movie about Emily Dickinson Poems. Another movie about Emily Dickinson is Wild Nights with Emily- based on her poems Wild Night and her relationship with Sue Gilbert And the tv series Dickinson, a comedy modern adaptation of Emily Dickinson life and poems.
She was always busy and had no time to die but it comes to all of us however busy we may be.
i feel like she's trying to say that death hanowd been with her a throughout life. like, through it all, she had been riding in death's carriage with Him (death) and immortality. the part where she says she had to put away her labor and leisure for His civility, i think she means she had to put away a lot of things for the sake of life. (life and death are the same, since they've both been with her since day one. theyre probably the same person). her and death passed through everything together and then the end (symbolised by the setting sun) walked past them, giving Him (death) a sign that it's time to leave her alone and so death stopped at the underground house, her grave. in the last verse she says that now she's been here in the underground house for centuries and yet that part when she wasn't here, as in inside the grave, felt longer. maybe she's trying to say that the suffering up there was far worse than it is here, as time feels longer when you're suffering. the lines "i first surmised the horses' heads were towards eternity" probably mean that she initially thought that her and death would be together for eternity but as soon as life ended, death left her too, as she's the only one in the underground house now.
Whose cutting onions? 🧅 🥺🥲
He kindly stopped for me Death is inevitable like love 😢
It's wonderful.. I also read this poetry in a competition.. Would you like to visit my video on this link? If you have any suggestion, please let me know. It helps me a lot to be better. Thank you so much. czcams.com/video/j6I2dDjYOFU/video.html
I am overwhelmed by this reading. Can someone tell me from what part of the USA the narrator hails from? It is a US female voice that captures my heart, somewhere on the East Coast I suspect!
That is a reading to set you back. Stop and hesitate. Should I be doing what I am doing now?
Great job on the video and reading. Thank you to all
Cool video! I added a melody to this wonderfully haunting poem: czcams.com/video/hX5fxPjp4cU/video.html

Will you find me afterlife?
Pokemon meme
fields of GAZING* grain
Yes I caught that as well!
I never understood this poem. I still find it really touching though
Agreed
It's, in my opinion about someone not able to stop for death. Perhaps because they feel they aren't ready or that death is a concept beyond their understanding. So, death does them a favor and stops for them. He takes them on a carriage ride through the golden memories of their lives and eventually stops and lays them to rest.
The great thing about poetry is you don’t need to “understand” it. You just need to feel it. 🙂
To me this poem expresses Emily's opinions about death and how delightful he is
this made me fall for Emily Dickinson
Okay so your voice is the best I've heard reading this amazing piece of art, infact, your voice is perfect for this
Just love this poem ...because i could not stop for death💔💔💔💔
This made me cry.
I remember when I read this poem and it had me shocked by how beautiful it was
Here after watching Dickinson (apple tv+) and I absolutely loved it as well
Who is the speaker? She is by far the best speaker I have heard. Bravo!!
@@ricochetVendetta it is. She had the roll of Emily Dickinson in the film. It was called a quite passion.
I am reading this for College
Same to me =)))
Susan McKeown and Natalie Merchant recorded a beautiful version of this poem as a song (with a few slight changes to the lines).
Same haha
Billie eilish as a poet 😂
Because I could not stop for Death - He kindly stopped for me - The Carriage held but just Ourselves - And Immortality. We slowly drove - He knew no haste And I had put away My labor and my leisure too, For His Civility - We passed the School, where Children strove At Recess - in the Ring - We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain - We passed the Setting Sun - Or rather - He passed us - The Dews drew quivering and chill - For only Gossamer, my Gown - My Tippet - only Tulle - We paused before a House that seemed A Swelling of the Ground - The Roof was scarcely visible - The Cornice - in the Ground - Since then - 'tis Centuries - and yet Feels shorter than the Day I first surmised the Horses' Heads Were toward Eternity -
After my first acceptance of a poem by Emily Dickinson (It was not death for I stood up), I have now set my own poem to music.
the first one of hers i heard was i died for beauty but was scarse
Cinthya Nixon recited this with such passion and childish tender, about a subject so serios as is the matter of death.
It's curious to know that she refers to the death as "he" in masculine, but in the spanish language we call it "la" muerte" as she: in femenine.
@@rieke5838 in germanic languages (german, english, etc.) is in masculine, and in the romances languages (italian, frensh, spanish...etc) is in femenine. 😉
in maori culture she's a mother.
We usually dipict the grim reaper as male so I'd say male in the US
Смерть - Smert' , with soft "t" in the end, in russian, referred as female
Same in italian
So many lessons!!!! Live on

We passed the Fields of "Grazing" Grain.
No life after death..... Soul only a chemical elements .

The body expires but the soul is immortal ..life after life, death after death
