letters from dickinson to sarah tuckerman
late 1881
Dear Friend,
Vinnie asked me if I had any Message for you, and while I was picking it, you ran away.
Not seeing, still we know--
Not knowing, guess--
Not guessing, smile and hide
And half caress--
And quake-- and turn away,
Seraphic fear--
Is Eden's innuendo
"If you dare"?
Emily.
