Emily Dickinson, The Belle of Amherst.

Since my last posts have been a lot about Adah and her love of Emily Dickonson, I thought it would be suiting as a commonplace post to do a little research on the acclaimed poet. In doing so iv'e also swiftly developed an admiration for her work.

Emily Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830 and died at age 55 on May 15,1886. While living, most of Emily's work had never been looked at, let alone published and her fame came mostly after her death. She has come to be regarded as one of the most influencial poets of the 19th century. Her sister Lavinia Dickinson was the one who encouraged the editing and publishment of her sisters writing, though most of it wasnt touched untill they were found after she had passed. Some of her most words include, "It is better to be the hammer than the anvil," and "Hope is the thing with feathers." A couple of her most famous poems are "Because I Could Not Stop For Death," and "I Cannot Live With You."
