Love is anterior to Life, Posterior to Death, Initial of Creation, and The Exponent of Earth.”

Emily Dickinson⁣⁣

Who was that girl ? ⁣

Emily Dickinson is one of America’s greatest and most original poets of all time. She took definition as her province and challenged the existing definitions of poetry and the poet’s work. Like writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Walt Whitman, she experimented with expression in order to free it from conventional restraints. ⁣⁣Like writers such as Charlotte Brontë and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, she crafted a new type of persona for the first person. The speakers in Dickinson’s poetry, like those in Brontë’s and Browning’s works, are sharp-sighted observers who see the inescapable limitations of their societies as well as their imagined and imaginable escapes.

She rose to His Requirement – dropt The Playthings of Her Life To take the honorable Work Of Woman, and of Wife - If ought She missed in Her new Day, Of Amplitude, or Awe - Or first Prospective - Or the Gold In using, wear away, It lay unmentioned - as the Sea Develope Pearl, and Weed, But only to Himself - be known The Fathoms they abide -

Little wonder that the words of another poem bound the woman’s life by the wedding. In one line the woman is “Born—Bridalled—Shrouded.”
