  10. Dickinson Born in 1830 in rural Amherst, Massachusetts Spent her entire life in the household of her parents Often produced a poem a day Began to dress only in white—a habit that added to her reputation as an eccentric

  11. Myth of “fragile innocence” Decision to shut the door on Amherst society in the 1850s transformed her house into a kind of magical realm Seclusion was not the result of a failed love affair, but rather a part of a more general pattern of renunciation She defined herself; wrote voraciously to many friends across the U.S. Died in 1886 (56 years old)

  12. Her Poetry Dashes and pauses Ellipses and the “unspoken” Ferocity of feeling “Quiet minds think the loudest thoughts.” Multiple readings: From sensual ecstasy to religious ecstasy

  13. The Bustle in a House (1108) The Bustle in a House The Morning after Death Is solemnest of industries Enacted upon Earth – The Sweeping up the Heart And putting Love away We shall not want to use again Until Eternity –
