Emily Bronte " In the earth—the earth—thou shalt be laid" Poem animation

Heres a virtual movie of the great Emily Bronte (1818 - 1848) reading her exquisite funereal poem " In the earth—the earth—thou shalt be laid" Written in 1846 it was first piublished posthumously in the 1850 Selections from the literary remains of Emily and Anne Brontë... In this poem "In the earth, the earth thou shalt be laid ..." two adverse voices dispute the nature of death. The first warns of the grim finality and isolation of death. The second voice welcomes death as the bringer of peace after a life of troubles, and opposes the argument of oblivion with the prospect of posthumous kind remembrance. The first voice returns in the last two stanzas insisting that death brings complete annihilation and observes that the first speaker will be mourned by only one faithful individual. Emily Jane Brontë (pronounced /ˈbrɒnti/ or /ˈbrɒnteɪ/)[1] (30 July 1818 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet, now best remembered for her novel Wuthering Heights, a classic of English literature. Emily was the second eldest of the three surviving Brontë sisters, between Charlotte and Anne. She published under the androgynous pen name Ellis Bell.
