For Emily Dickinson there were three worlds, and she lived in all
of them, marking them the substance of everything that she thought
and wrote. There was the world of nature, the things and the creatures
that she saw, heard, felt about her; there was the " estate " that

publicist Thomas Wentworth Higginson and invited his aid as mentor
for more than twenty years, though she never once adopted any counsel
20 he dared to hazard. In the last decade of her life, she came to be

qualified judge among Emily Dickinson's contemporaries who believed
her to be a great poet, yet Emily Dickinson steadfastly refused to
