#OTD Emily #Dickinson, American #Poet.
The #Author #JudithFarr, said Emily was "known more widely as a #Gardener, than a poet."
After #Emily died, her #Sister, #Lavina tended her #Cottage #Garden.
A niece recalled,
"All her #Flowers did as they liked: tyrannized over her, hopped out of their own beds & into each other’s beds - were never reproved or removed as long as they #Bloomed;
For a #Live #Flower to #Aunt Lavinia was more than any #Dead #Horticultural #Principle."
