Poetry Society of America: "The dandelion's pallid tube astonishes the grass, And winter instantly becomes an infinite alas."You know, later in life, she wrote to a friend, you know, if we love flowers, are we not born again every day?
Paul Solman: Alice Quinn, head of the Poetry Society of America, considers Dickinson a poet, not a gardener first, though her nickname was Daisy.
Alice Quinn: So, one of the essential daisy poem's in Dickinson's oeuvre of 785 poems begins, "So, has a daisy vanished from the fields today? So tiptoed many a slipper to paradise away."
