O The fact that the other person is laid in an ‘adjoining room’ suggests that the persona does not feel a true sense of belonging to others, even in death there is space separating them, and no direct connection. O The motif of death is established through the repetition of ‘died’ and the word ‘tomb.’ This intermingles the ideas of death (truth?) and beauty. In other words, it is rare to find one who is willing to live in accordance with their ideals and principles.

That is, the composer is indicating how rare it is to find someone who belongs to themselves. The persona was ‘scarce adjusted’ meaning ‘just now adjusted.’ The persona was also scarce, as in rare, in that that it was unusual that someone should die for beauty. O Enjambment (the running over of a sentence from one line of verse into the next) between the first and second line makes the word ‘scarce’ a pun. O The persona ‘died for beauty’ – which means the persona sacrificed themselves to support beauty or in trying to achieve it. Our belonging to others and ourselves pales in comparison to our belonging to nature will ultimately envelope us all. In particular, dying for beauty means living a life which is true to one’s self and hence the statement ‘And I for truth, - the two are one.' The poem also conjures the idea of belonging to nature of which we are all constituent parts. To me, the poem evokes ideas of belonging to self.

The persona died ‘for beauty’ and the other person died ‘for truth.’ Both talk with each other through the separating wall until the ‘moss had reached our lips’ and covered their names. The persona and another person have died and have been placed in adjoining rooms of a tomb. This means that you might be able to come up with some creative links to belonging, however be careful that you explain your position carefully with reference to the text. In my opinion, this poem is one of the most abstract out of all of Dickinson’s poems on the HSC syllabus.
