letters from dickinson to olive stearns


early spring 1875?


Dear Friend,

That a pansy is transitive, is its only pang.

This, precluding that, is indeed divine.

Bringing you handfuls in prospective, thank you for the love. Many an angel, with its needle, toils beneath the snow.

With tenderness for your mate,
Emily.
