- Go to First Valentine for Emily D.
Re: Your mother had a point, I guess, but that's Emily. Listen, we were
talking about Simon and Garfunkel. My son gave me Paul Simon's Negotiations and Other Love Songs CD years ago and I play it very occasionally, for fear of getting bored with it. - Bob

Isn't it true how the best artists transcend even centuries and speak directly to us? My mother loved Emily Dickinson but much later in her life found her darker works unpleasant, so she quit reading her entirely. A short'n'sweet tribute - she's one of my favorites as well.

I love Emily D.'s work also..Wonderful verse, Bob!
I used to have a favored poem of hers posted on my About Me page:
"If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain:
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain."
