“Yes, words summon me to the sacramental, unsullied place where my roaming is not halted or harnessed by others. My mind and heart are only free in solitude, and there I must dwell.”
~Nuala O'Connor, Miss Emily
I'm one-third of the way through, & absolutely enjoying this slim novel, full of elegance & integrity. It reminds me quite a bit of Longbourn by Jo Baker, which I also enjoyed. #missemily #nualaoconnor #emilydickinson #bookish #poetry
slategreyskies I had a college professor who loved Emily Dickinson. He always called her "Miss Emily." I haven't thought about him in years. This makes me smile. ? 8y
catebutler @slategreyskies I love that your professor called her Miss Emily. Isn't it interesting how we find certain authors or characters so intriguing, they become intimate acquaintances. 8y
