naiya’s Reviews > Open Me Carefully: Emily Dickinson's Intimate Letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson > Status Update

“…went to sleep mourning for you, and pretty soon I waked until saying “Precious treasure, thou art mine,” and there you were all right, my dear Susie, and I hardly dared to sleep lest some one steal you away... just write me every week one line, and let it be, “Emily, I love you,” and I will be satisfied!
Your own Emily”

absolutely sensational long distance lesbian behavior

“The care Susan took in keeping these manuscripts attests to the value she placed on them. When Susan reread the letters and poems pasted down in this way she would have been recreating the experience of unfolding, opening, and reading them for the first time” STOP😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
