Mrs. [Mabel Loomis] Todd wrote [of Emily Dickinson], "and found them lacking. She was not an invalid, and she loved seclusion, from no love-disappointment. Her life was the normal blossoming of a nature introspective to a high degree, whose best thought could not exist in pretence."It would be hard to come up with a more mistaken analysis of Emily Dickinson. Even the accurate parts are misleading.

It's probably difficult to get to know someone by cheating on their best friend with their brother... Poor Mabel, she gets all the mean jokes I'm sure.
