    Why didn't you mention that they erased Susan's name from her love poems? And in 1998 it was revealed that the name was removed (probably because homosexuality was not accepted). A new documentary about Emily Dickinson is needed because this one is certainly not telling the complete truth about her personal life. Susan's daughter has also confirmed the intimate relationship between her mother and Emily.

      I would challenge you in that are you implying she was secretly gay? I think she felt connected to her sister in law Susan but was attracted to men for sure and seems to have had a relationship with an older man. Showing affection back then to other women wasn't unusual and didn't imply lesbianism.

The fact that she rarely if at all left the house would indicate that she definitely had phobias. I would be very interested in knowing what kind of eye condition she had oh, and what did she actually die from.

      @@alwayswondering4051 it's about masculine and feminine energies. All people have masculine and feminine energies within themselves, in varying degrees.
      Some women have more masculine energies and some have lots of feminine energy. Many women distance themselves from their OWN masculine energy and stay away from doing basics ( like changing their own gas cylinder/ lightbulb/ car tyre themselves. They're the ones against learning basic household skills. When she steps down from changing the lightbulb because she thinks it will leave him with no purpose if he isn't useful around the house )
      We must ideally have both energies in balanced levels within us. For a masculine energy predominant woman, she must call up her own feminine energies to nourish herself.

      It is well known among traditional farming communities that male trees must not be allowed to grow with female trees. Marijuana farmers don't let male marijuana trees grow next to female marijuana trees. Look it up :)
      Yes, there's male and female among trees too. You can tell by their flowers, stem water content, leaf shape etc
      When a male papaya tree grows next to a female tree, she yields smaller papayas and grows shorter than her sister who is grown far away with no males around her
      Energetically I think what happens here is that a principal is being followed :
      energy flows from higher to lower.
      SHE is the higher energy being. Look at little girls and boys girls are always fuller of energy/life/ life force (in India we call this Shakti). The strongest women are those older women who can call up their strong masculine energy and expansive feminine energy when she desires.
      A strong male is one who can call up on his own feminine energy for guidance. But.. it requires a lot of self work on their part.
      You're absolutely right, it's astounding that certain filthy forces have wasted so much of our time with useless topics like trans agenda/ vaginal orgasm / death management methods.
      Our focus is supposed to be on:
      - health and healing.
      - connecting to ones own inner power (the answer to power isn't in fucking some helpless men/women)
      Fucking someone is a way of taking their energy and benefiting from it temporarily, but when done with a filthy intention like that, it disempowers people leaving them starved/empty.. alcohol/drugs/smoking has the same effect on us
      - what's the cause of early foetal deaths? We would have know this by now if certain fools weren't wasting their time in the above pointless researches

    According to my reading, Emily was a strong willed person, like her own father. As Susan became more closely involved in the Dickinson family, eventually marrying E’s brother, Austin, Susan feared that her own identity as a person so she strove to keep Emily at a distance. Emily, on the other hand, hungered for a soul mate, and decided that Susan was that person. Emily regarded Susan as her loving sister, the one person with whom she could share her inmost thoughts. Their relationship, almost a courtship, at least on Emily’s part, seemed to be one of a push me, pull me nature.
    Each of the women wanted a relationship with the other, but wanted it on her terms.

    There are so many myths afloat about Emily Dickinson. One is that she never traveled far from her home and yet we know she went to Boston which is 92 miles distance from Amherst for some time to visit her brother, Austin. One myth after another abound. I wish so I could somehow travel back in time and visit her and set the record straight. Her letters published by Mabel Loomis Todd help squash a lot of the myths.
