letters from dickinson to austin dickinson
about 1861
Austin--
Father said Frank Conkey -- touched you --
A Burdock -- clawed my Gown --
Not Burdock's -- blame --
But mine --
Who went too near
The Burdock's Den
A Bog -- affronts my shoe --
What else have Bogs -- to do --
The only Trade they know --
The splashing Men
Ah, pity -- then!
'Tis Minnows can despise!
The Elephants -- calm eyes
Look further on!
Emily --
