Episode Synopsis

A quick tour through several Dickinson poems, including "I started early," to which we'll return briefly.  Some noting (and a lot of not-noting) of echoes and congruences with Emerson's vocabulary: "Austere," e.g. and attitudes towards snow.  Next class we'll return to "The Brain is wider than the sky" as a way into Whitman and by way of contrast to Stevens' Comedian.
