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...

    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.

    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.

      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.
