EMILY DICKINSON AND EMILY CARR (1830-1945) / CONTEMPORARIES OF MY GRANDMOTHERS AND GREAT-GRANDMOTHERS

Exultation is the going
Of an island soul to sea,
Past the houses -- past the headlands --
Into deep Eternity --


Bred as we, among the mountains,
Can the sailor understand,
The divine intoxication
Of the first league out from land?


-- Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

AND:











































"Scorned As Timber, Beloved of Sky"

-- Emily Carr (1871-1945)
