Hello everyone,
It's Dickinson episode 5. This week the gang is performing Shakespeare's Othello. A difficult episode today, and we have some thoughts. Maybe you do too. Contact us on edictsonedicks@gmail.com, we want to hear from you. Thanks again to Alena Smith and everyone at Apple TV+ for bringing us this episode of Dickinson.
Emily's poem today:
I am afraid to own a Body—
I am afraid to own a Soul—
Profound—precarious Property—
Possession, not optional—
Double Estate—entailed at pleasure
Upon an unsuspecting Heir—
Duke in a moment of Deathlessness
And God, for a Frontier.
Again, the music at the top of the episode was Hailee Steinfeld's 'Afterlife'.
