A Death blow is a Life blow to Some
"A Death blow is a Life blow to Some" is a short poem that turns a familiar idea on its head in just four lines. Emily Dickinson imagines people who never truly came alive until the moment they died, and who might have died inwardly had they gone on living. Death and vitality swap places, leaving a quiet paradox about what it means to live. Read it online and decide what you make of its riddle.
