letters from dickinson to gilbert dickinson


about 1881


For Gilbert to carry to his Teacher -

The Bumble Bee's Religion -

His little Hearse like Figure
Unto itself a Dirge
To a delusive Lilac
The vanity divulge
Of Industry and Morals
And every righteous thing
For the divine Perdition
Of Idleness and Spring -

"All Liars shall have their part" -
Jonathan Edwards -

"And let him that is athirst come" -
Jesus-
