this standing still of all the pale decayed objects,
the withered bridal dress on the collapsed form
looked so like grave-clothes, . . . the long veil so like a shroud.
So she sat, corpse-like
bodies buried in ancient times, which fall to powder in the moment of being distinctly seen
she . . . looked as if the admission of the natural light of day would have struck her to dust.
everything in the room had stopped,
the shoe upon it, once white, now yellow, had never been worn.
the frillings and trimmings on her bridal dress, looking like earthy paper.
