Peu avant six heures du matin, le 15 mai 1886, alors qu’éclatent au jardin les chants d’oiseaux rinçant le ciel rose et que les jasmins sanctifient l’air de leur parfum, le bruit qui depuis deux jours ruine toute pensée dans la maison Dickinson, un bruit de respiration besogneuse, entravée et vaillante — comme d’une scie sur une planche récalcitrante — ce bruit cesse : Emily vient de tourner brutalement son visage vers l’invisible soleil qui, depuis deux ans, consume son âme comme un papier d’Arménie. La mort remplit d’un coup toute la chambre.
