Comments - Emily Dickinson's Words
I have this cute little book of Emily Dickinson poems! I took a photo of it to share and I'll tag you in it soon!!! Anyway, great post!!! Wasn't Emily a brilliant writer!? I think some have thought Emily Dickinson had Epilepsy due to her sort of dark yet absolutely beautiful poems. It's having to live very close to death when you have Epilepsy. I know, I have it and I've already almost died more times than can be counted on my hands and feet put together. It's a very hard way to live but one you get used to. Perhaps she did have it. Who knows!?! Still, like you said in that time, you really didn't need to have any sort of health condition to live close to death. Sadly, death was already all around.
