Susan Dickinson (editor) - Ghostly Experiences - Armada/Lions - 1973

[em-dick]

Alternate version of "What mystery pervades a well!"

But Susan is a stranger yet - The ones who cite her most Have never scaled her Haunted House Nor compromised her Ghost -

To pity those who know her not Is helped by the regret That those who know her know her less The nearer her they get -

I showed her Hights

she never saw -

"Would"st climb," I said?

She said - "Not so" -

"With me -" I said -

With me?

I showed her Secrets -

Morning's Nest -

The Rope the Nights

were put across -

And now - "Would'st

have me for a Guest"?

And then, I brake

My life - And Lo,

A Light, for her,

did solemn glow,

The larger, as her

face withdrew -

And could she, further,

"No"?

- Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson Letter #58

This is a rarity- a letter from Susan to Emily! I tried to use a different voice for her than I do in my other letters as a result. I'm still calling it an "Emily Dickinson Letter" because I'm specifically reading the correspondence between Emily and Susie. Note that when Susie asked "Has girl read Republican?" she is likely talking about the Springfield Republican. The March 1, 1862 issue had a poem by Susie entitled "The Shadow of Thy Wing."

The most intriguing line to me, however, is "There were two or three little things I wanted to talk with you about without witnesses[.]" Oh really, Susie?

"A Damascus blade gleaming and glancing in the sun was her wit. Her swift poetic rapture was like the long glistening note of a bird one hears in the June woods at high noon, but can never see.

Like a magician she caught the shadowy apparitions of her brain and tossed them in startling picturesqueness to her friends, who, charmed with their simplicity and homeliness as well as profundity, fretted that she had so easily made palpable the tantalizing fancies forever eluding their bungling, fettered grasp.

So intimate and passionate a part of the high march sky, the summer day and bird-call."

Emily Dickinson, from a letter to Susan Gilbert

[rhfffas]

gonna love these lesbian jokes

[bones-ivy-breath]

Reading the writing of women from Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë to Emily Dickinson, Virginia Woolf, and Sylvia Plath, we were surprised by the coherence of theme and imagery that we encountered in the works of writers who were often geographically, historically, and psychologically distant from each other. Indeed, even when we studied women's achievements in radically different genres, we found what began to seem a distinctively female literary tradition, a tradition that had been approached and appreciated by many women readers and writers but which no one had yet defined in its entirety. Images of enclosure and escape, fantasies in which maddened doubles functioned as asocial surrogates for docile selves, metaphors of physical discomfort manifested in frozen landscapes and fiery interiors—such patterns recurred throughout this tradition, along with obsessive depictions of diseases like anorexia, agoraphobia, and claustrophobia.

When I look around me and find myself alone, I sigh for you again; little sigh, and vain sigh, which will not bring you home.

Emily Dickinson.
