I returned to the Emily Dickinson Museum to take the “Grounds of Memory” landscape audio tour. Here are some of the images I captured along with excerpts from several of her poems.
"Because the Bee may blameless hum
List even onto Me."
"I tend my flowers for thee—
Bright Absentee!"
"My Fuchsia's Coral Seams
Rip while the Sower dreams"
"As if some little Arctic flower
Upon the polar hem—"
"The Veins of other Flowers
The Scarlet Flowers are
As 'Branch,' and 'Jugular.'"
"There came a Day at Summer's full,
What will the Oak tree say?"
Entirely for me—
The unsuspecting Trees
Brought out their Burs and mosses
My fantasy to please.
I thought that such were for the Saints
Where Resurrections—be—"
"A Burdock—clawed my Gown—
Not Burdock's—blame—
But mine—
Who went too near
The Burdock's Den—"
But mine—
Who went too near
The Burdock's Den—"
"I robbed the Woods—
The trusting Woods. The unsuspecting Trees
Brought out their Burs and mosses
My fantasy to please.
What will the solemn Hemlock—
"The Trees like Tassels—hit—and swung—
There seemed to rise a Tune From the Miniature Creatures
Accompanying the Sun"
And I made a new Friend:
