CHECK OUT PART 1 FOR THIS POST HERE.
 | Yesterday’s post included this info from a past birthday tribute about Emily Dickinson by Garrison Keillor: “What we do know is that Dickinson spent most of her adult life in her corner bedroom, which contained a writing table, a dresser, a Franklin stove, a clock, a ruby decanter, and pictures on the wall of three writers: George Eliot, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Thomas Carlyle.” I found the pictures of Eliot and Browning that were on her wall – posted below – but I was unable to find the exact likeness of Carlyle she had in her room. Plus, yesterday I noted that today I would post poems by the three writers so below are works by the three: the poem by Eliot is entitled, “Count That Day Lost”; the poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning is “The Autumn”; and the poem by Thomas Carlyle is called “Today.” You’ll note that I paired each poem with one by Dickinson with a similar theme. |

 | I also stumbled upon this, a Talk by Dr Páraic Finnerty: " 'On the walls of her own room hung framed portraits of Mrs Browning, George Eliot, and Carlyle': Dickinson, heroes and hero-worship," HERE. However, I could only find the lecture and/or access the paper on sites where I had to register, and I didn’t do that. LOL. I’ll keep looking. ; - ) |
