letters from dickinson to sarah tuckerman
February 1884
Do "Men gather Grapes of Thorns?" No -- but they do of Roses -- and even the classic Fox hushed his innuendo, as we unclasped the little Box -- Sherbets untold, and Recollection more sparkling than Sherbets!
How wonderous is a Friend, the gift of neither Heaven nor Earth, yet coveted of both!
If the "Archangels vail their faces," is not the sacred diffidence on this sweet behalf?
