In today’s earlier post, I mentioned Mary Elizabeth Barbot’s article in "The New England Quarterly,“ "Emily Dickinson Parallels," where she discussed Dickinson’s line to Higginson in an 1862 letter, “I marked a line in one verse, because I met it after I made it, and never consciously touch a paint mixed by another person.” Jack Capps also discussed that line in his book “Emily Dickinson’s Reading, 1836 – 1886” – see the pics below and to the right (click the images to enlarge).  |  |
