Dickinson and Whitman

June 21 2006


I love this being around intelligent people.  I love deep, thoughful, intellectual conversations.  I love being a girl - those occasional bursts of unbridled femininity.  I love walking beneath towering trees to class.  I love respectful people.  I love spontaneous, unpredictable people.  I love good first impressions.  I love Van Gogh.  I love warm, soft, delicious afternoon naps after you've stayed up until 2, two weeks in a row.  I love second chances.  I love chocolate chip cookies - chewy, of course.  I love Sara Teasdale and William Blake.  I love deep connections with people, which go beyond words.  I love adrenaline. 


Who is the better poet -


Dickinson or Whitman?

I love being around intelligent people too. I don't know about the poet thing... I haven't read enough of either... I'm not really a big fan of poetry despite my liking for other forms of literature...

Walt Whitman. Emily Dickinson is overrated.

I'm going to have to disagree with Hunter and say that although Dickinson is a bit overrated, she's still better than Whitman because Whitman is a bit too formulaic for me. He's still really good though.
