Tragedy struck again and again in the years immediately following the publication of Emily's poem. Her friend Samuel Bolz died, two more literary correspondence of note that had buoyed her up in the previous years also died,. Then her mother died. There was no earthly parting, Emily wrote about her mother. She slipped from our fingers like a flake gathered by the wind and is now part of the drift called the infinite.
