written in the mid-1860s.
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (12-10-1830 - 5-15-1886) was an American poet. Little known during her life, she has since been regarded as one of the most important figures in American poetry. Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, into a prominent family with strong ties to its community. You can read more if you click on her name above.
Beautiful ❤️ photos and text. Love this, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Linda, so glad you enjoyed :)
DeleteVery nice and I wonder did Emily ever get bitten by a bee -- maybe we will never know.
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret, I think if she did there's a poem out there somewhere, but as you say, maybe we will never know :)
DeleteThat bee house is quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteI agree :)
DeleteSometime ago I read (and reviewed) a book on Charles Darwin and Emily Dickinson. As part of that exercise I borrowed Dickinson works from the library. I have to confess they did not move me greatly, and the fault perhaps lies in my dullardness. I will have to try again.
ReplyDeleteThere is no way you suffer from dullardness David :)
DeletePretty photo and a lovely poem. Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen, much appreciated and you take care and have a great day also :)
DeleteShe was an eccentric and clearly had a rich internal life.
ReplyDeleteAgree on both Janice :)

ReplyDeleteThank you Angie, kind of you to say :)
DeleteShort but true.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, thanks Anvilcloud :)
DeleteSince I am not a FAME person, I don't know how it would feel. ha ha.. I do not want to be stung by a bee for sure
ReplyDeleteMost definitely not for me too Sandra :)
DeleteSchool texts usually have some Emily Dickinson poetry.
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember her in my own classes back in the day :)

ReplyDeleteThat bee house is something I have never seen before. Wow! :)
Me too Rita :) The first time I saw one was in this garden. They have several scattered throughout.
