Teenage Emily Dickinson, meet adult Emily Dickinson….maybe.
A new photograph has surfaced in Amherst that reportedly shows Emily Dickinson in her mid-twenties. Her dress is apparently out of fashion for the time,1859, but that’s in keeping with her personality: “I’m so old fashioned, Darling, that all your friends would stare.”
“Emily Dickinson gets a new look in recovered photograph” [The Guardian]
Their eyes seems different, their noses too. But so many things the same! Two beautiful photographs of what might be the same brilliant woman.
I see a distinct funeral in her brain, so it must be the same Emily Dickinson.
