Emily Dickinson’s Autumn and a few Facts

No Comments

I found two poems about fall by Emily Dickinson. I like one better than the other and it’s below. I’m fascinated by the details of her life. I’ve posted pieces of her work and life earlier on our blog, and I’m including more information in this post. But, first, this lovely poem about autumn. Autumnby Emily Dickinson The morns are meeker than they were,The nuts are getting brown;The berry’s cheek is plumper,The rose is out of town. The maple wears a gayer scarf,The field a scarlet gown.Lest I should be old-fashioned,I’ll put a trinket on. Emily wrote approximately 1,800 poems. She titled less than ten of her poems which is amazing. I say this as someone who loves to title things or thinks writing and situations need titles. “Emily Dickinson titled fewer than 10 of her almost 1800 poems. Her poems are now generally known by their first lines or…

Emily Dickinson Poem: Will there really be a morning?

1 Comment

Emily Dickinson was loving, kind, and a bit of a prankster. “Will there really be a morning” is a poem she wrote on the back of a cake recipe. A cake recipe?! What if it hadn’t been found? I learned about this while looking up the poem and ran across Hidden Kitchens produced by The Kitchen Sisters. Their series featured the story of Emily and the poem on NPR’s Morning Edition which we can listen to below.

A Short Bio on Emily Dickinson and the Poem that Captured Me

3 Comments

One of my favorite poets is Emily Dickinson. She was born on December 10, 1830, in Amherst Massachusetts. She wrote 1,800 poems in her lifetime that we know of for certain. I vividly remember sitting in class as a junior in high school and having to analyze her poem “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” and it made a lasting impact on me. For a woman who lived in only one place, and had little outside social discourse later in life, she had an extraordinary grasp on the natural and spiritual worlds. We can only piece together what we’ve found for certain to know what her life was like. A fascinating character who lived and died within the 19th century and whose poetry made intangible things into the tangible. Who was influenced by Wordsworth and Emerson yet wrote in her own unique voice. Photo Credit: Britannica.com Because I could…

Henry David Thoreau on the Wildness of Nature

No Comments

Travel is a passion and one we would love to indulge in more. Currently, we are staying home with all of our school and work, but we long for the open road. I, for one, cannot wait until we can travel again in early fall. Thinking about the wildness of nature we thought of the American essayist, poet, and philosopher Henry David Thoreau. His quotes on nature resonate with us. “Life consists with wildness. The most alive is the wildest. Not yet subdued to man, its presence refreshes him. One who pressed forward incessantly and never rested from his labors, who grew fast and made infinite demands on life, would always find himself in a new country or wilderness, and surrounded by the raw material of life. He would be climbing over the prostrate stems of primitive forest trees.” “I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom…

The Night Mail Tells the Thrills of Receiving a Letter

No Comments

“The Night Mail” poem written by WH Auden paints a vivid picture of what it was like to transport and receive mail once upon a time. The excitement of it reaching its destination and people walking to their mailboxes or their local shops to pick up letters. The Night Mailby WH Auden This is the night mail crossing the Border,Bringing the cheque and the postal order, Letters for the rich, letters for the poor,The shop at the corner, the girl next door. Pulling up Beattock, a steady climb:The gradient’s against her, but she’s on time. Past cotton-grass and moorland boulderShovelling white steam over her shoulder, Snorting noisily as she passesSilent miles of wind-bent grasses. Birds turn their heads as she approaches,Stare from bushes at her blank-faced coaches. Sheep-dogs cannot turn her course;They slumber on with paws across. In the farm she passes no one wakes,But a jug in a bedroom…

Favorite Etsy Artist: Tartx

No Comments

We all have our favorite things. I am a big fan of Poe, Alice in Wonderland, Jane Austen, Emily Dickinson, Queen Elizabeth I, and history itself. In fact, this blog could well have been named with a combination of Poe-Alice-Austen since those are my TOP loves. I’m happy to say I’ve found an Etsy artist who satisfies all of these works of fiction and real characters. Tiffini Elektra X has a fabulous (I don’t throw that word around often) shop: Tartx . I have ordered 3 rings from here and they are some of my favorite jewelry. An Edgar Allan Poe ring, Alice and her crown, and I special ordered one of Jane Austen.
