My Life Closed Twice My life closed twice before its time; It yet remains to see If Immortality unveil A third event to me. So huge, so hopeless to conceive As these that twice befell; Parting is all we know of heaven, And all we need of hell. by Emily Dickinson | Emily Dickinson biography Emily Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830 in Amherst Mass. She had a younger sister named Lavina and an older brother named Austin. Her mother Emily Norcross Dickinson, was largely dependant on her family and was seen by Emily as a poor mother. Her father was lawer, Congressman, and the Treasurer for Amherst College, unlike her mother, Emily loved and admired him. The family, though not emotional, lived a quiet secure life. They rarely shared thier problems with one another so Emily had plenty of privacy for writing. During her childhood she and her family attended The First Congregational Church on a regular basis. Emily did not like going to church because he didn't think of herself as very religeous. She refused to believe that Heaven was a better place than earth and eventually rebelled from the church and saw herself as a woman who had her own way of thinking, a way of thinking shaped neither by the church or society. |
