the knowledge, that SO many forms of

essential that strong vital principle

EmerSOn'S phrase, the poetry OF the
PORTFOLIO" describes Emily DickinsOn's
work Twelve hundred poems, some
scarcely four lines, were discovered af-
ter her death, to the great surprise Of
her family These were edited and pub
lished at the request of her sister. These
poems show lightning flashes of soul
and insight into life, an unerring, vivid
ness of description and unbounded
stretches of imagination. They are
original, uniformed, often unrhymed,
hayward, strange and even fantastic,
but they show genius. Flowers, bees
and angle-worms they tell of; butter
flies and cumming birds, clouds, sun
and storm, March and autumn, life,
love, death and Immortality.
Often did she refer to lists of alterna-
tive words, but never from any consid-
Grafton of rhyme or beauty. Her verse
shows the rhyme of thought" a grace
far more subtle and satisfying than
mere consonance of words. Her utter
inability to grasp the idea OF form has
crystaIized her style, which is original
and unique. Often in first line did
she command attention, and flash off,
as Thomas Wentworth Higginson says,
"a thought that takes our breath away,
pertinence.'
Many striking incidents OF her life
were related by Mrs. Todd, many bits
of verse were quoted, sparks OF verse
forged at white heat, and from her let
tiers many epigrammatic sentences. All
helped in giving us a better impress
sion of this woman who distilled drops /
of the essence of things. Many eyes
besides the readers glistened as she
read the letter on Immortality that
Miss Dickinson had written after her
death.
Mrs Todd finished her brilliant char
of Emily Dickinson, this
poet whose verses published after her
ieath have lived in print but five years.
The hush that held the company after
she ceased to speak was the greatest
possible tribute to her magic as a
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-05-23

In speaking of these letters, which
were never dated, Mrs. Todd suggested
some of the difficulties she surmOunted
in arranging them chronologically.
''Friday night is not strictly specific,
nor does little Maggie died tonight"
add to it's definiteness when seventeen
Maggies in the town were known to
have died, four of them Maggie Kellys!
AT the end of four weeks determined
search 10 the date of that letter, it was
at last learned that a certain little Mag
gle Kelley had died on Friday night,
and the mother was able to supply the
missing date of TWO letters.
In her efforts to determine the dates
of other letters she referred to a much
ridiculed stamp album, when the let
tiers were not written before stamps
came into vogue. She went to news
papers, to town records, to former resi-
dents of the town, to old servants and
their children. She searched for reports
of fires, births, deaths, the first appear
ance of railroad and water companies,
and in short became wiser than the old
est inhabitant.
