letters from dickinson to mabel loomis todd


October 1882


Dear friend,

I cannot make an Indian Pipe but please accept a Humming Bird.

A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel -
A Resonance of Emerald -
A Rush of Cochineal -
And every Blossom on the Bush
Adjusts it's tumbled Head -
The mail from Tunis probably,
An easy Morning's Ride -

E. Dickinson.
