    "Sown in dishonor" is a Poem by David Preest. He argues that our bodies will be raised as incorruptible spiritual bodies. Emily seems to be disagreeing with Paul's low estimates of our earthly bodies. If her earthly body was only half as wonderful as it actually is, she could spend her life looking at it without noticing anybody else.

    "Sown in dishonor" By Emily Dickinson [Analysis]

    "Sown in dishonor"![1] Ah! Indeed![2] May this "dishonor" be?[3] If I were half so fine myself[4] I'd notice nobody![5] "Sown in corruption"![6] Not so fast![7] Apostle is askew![8] Corinthians 1. 15. narrates[9] A Circumstance or two![10]
    Poem 62 [F153] "Sown in dishonor" Analysis by David Preest [Poem]

    In his first letter to the people of Corinth Paul argues that just as a seed planted by a farmer turns into wheat which is totally different from the seed, so our own bodies, which as a thing of earth are sown in dishonour and corruption, will be raised as incorruptible spiritual bodies in power and glory. (1Corinthians 15:36-43) Emily seems to be disagreeing with Paul's low estimates of our earthly bodies. If her earthly body was only half as wonderful as it actually is, she could spend her life looking at it without noticing anybody else at all. This is hardly 'dishonour.' And does it make sense to describe it as being sown in corruption, if it is to be raised in power and glory?
