Elizabeth (Emily) Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Born in Amherst, Massachusetts, she lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life. After she studied at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she spent a short time at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's house in Amherst.
Thought of as an eccentric by the locals, she became known for her penchant for white clothing and her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, even leave her room. Most of her friendships were therefore carried out by correspondence. Although Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime.
The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. Q: Emily Dickinson was unknown to the Transcendentalists but followed their work closely. By David Gregg Role (Scholar) Carnets de Poésie de Guess Who. Nouveau venu, qui cherches Rome en RomeEt rien de Rome en Rome n'aperçois,Ces vieux palais, ces vieux arcs que tu vois,Et ces vieux murs, c'est ce que Rome on nomme. Vois quel orgueil, quelle ruine : et commeCelle qui mit le monde sous ses lois,Pour dompter tout, se dompta quelquefois,Et devint proie au temps, qui tout consomme. Rome de Rome est le seul monument,Et Rome Rome a vaincu seulement.Le Tibre seul, qui vers la mer s'enfuit, Reste de Rome. O mondaine inconstance ! Ce qui est ferme, est par le temps détruit,Et ce qui fuit, au temps fait résistance. Amis lecteurs, Je reçois votre part beaucoup de mots de sympathie et inquiétude à propos de mon silence et de mon absence des carnets.
Veillez pardonner ce silence ; ma vie professionnelle m’a emmené pour une longue durée sur les marges romaines du Tibre. Je vous promets de revenir de temps en temps pour partager avec vous quelques découvertes poétiques (dont ce poème de du Bellay sur Rome) et une image de la ville eternelle sous la neige !
