EMILY DICKINSON (1830-1886) FRENCH

"No, I know, a life more passionate and more solitary than this woman. Preferred to dream and perhaps imagine the love and fear him. In his secluded village of Amhers sought the seclusion of his home and in your home, confinement of white and not be seen by the few friends he received. "Jorge Luis Borges.

In those years of closure voluntary choice that took an early age, Emily Dickinson built one of the strongest works of world literature. It was smart, rebellious, educated, and her writing has taught us.
Emily
Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, in Amherst (Massachusetts), within a severely puritanical religious family who had eight generations living in New England. He studied at Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke Female Seminary in Massachusetts. Dickinson, who was an active young and full of life, withdrew from society after 30 years and for the rest of his life he lived as a recluse, staying in touch with friends only through their enigmatic and epigrammatic letters. The reasons traditionally given for this isolation, for example, that experienced romantic outbursts, is now seriously questioned.

Dickinson wrote a poem very original. The first literary figure of the time to realize their worth as a poet was the clergyman and writer Thomas Higginson, who despite acknowledging his genius being his only correspondent and literary mentor advised him not to publish his work because it went against literary conventions of the time. However, his other literary friends, the novelist Helen Jackson, tried unsuccessfully to persuade her to publish a book of poems, and although in life he published only seven, after his death his papers were found among 2,000 poems, some of which were only fragments. From this material, Higginson and Mabel Loomis Todd, a friend of Amherst, edited the first selection of his works, Poems (1890), which had great popular success.

His language is simple, but its complex syntax draws a rich variety of connotations from ordinary words. His images and metaphors derived from a deep observation of nature and imagination often playful in his thinking and ingenious in expression. The first editions eliminated his characteristic use of scripts expressing the rhythm and power of his thought. The combination of universal themes expressed with an intense personal feeling and use of forms del verso familiares confieren a su poesía lírica una franqueza mística. La edición completa de su poesía, con la puntuación y estilo tipográfico originales, no se publicó hasta 1960. En 1958 se publicó una edición en tres volúmenes de su correspondencia. 

Dickinson murió el 15 de mayo de 1886.

¡Noches salvajes, salvajes!
Si aquí estuvieras,
el desenfreno sería
nuestra opulencia.

¡Ya no más brújulas, mapas!
Vanos los vientos.
Vanos para un corazón
que llegó a puerto

In Eden's my boat.
Oh, the sea!
Oh, if this night could tie
in you!


Wild nights! Wild nights! Were I with thee
, Wild nights

Should Be Our luxury!


Futile the winds To a heart in port, Done with the compass
,
Done with the chart.

Rowing in Eden!
Ah! the sea! Might I moor
But
To-night in thee! ************



translates into English the following poem by Emily Dickinson. After comments on the theme and style.


May

H EART, we will forget him!
  You and I, to-night!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
  I will forget the light.
  
When you have done, pray tell me,	        5
my thoughts That I May dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging,
I remember him!
