I certainly have allowed Emily to help me, three times on the occasion of
deaths, including the time of my wife's death, many years ago, when I gave the
minister some notes for his comments, including two of ED's poems.
Unfortunately I had to interpret the poems for the minister and literally
helped him say them so they would be understood.  It was then I understood
that not all ministers are broadly prepared in  the liberal arts.

At other times of personal crisis I have searched--scanning ED with a hopeful
eye.  There is always something in her work. The only artist who serves me
better in spiritual matters is Mozart.  The second movement of his clarinet
concerto is the most poignant prayer that I know.
