“Remember” 1862

  • A sonnet, like many of her others, in which a woman dying tells her lover not to be worried or to be sad about her death, but to face it
  • The narrator speaks to a lover; she is dying
  • She asks him to remember her with a smile or not at all
  • Quote, this is defining what death is: “Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.” (ambiguity and doubleness of life)
