#Susan Huntington Gilbert

[holeymolars]

I showed her Hights

she never saw -

"Would"st climb," I said?

She said - "Not so" -

"With me -" I said -

With me?

I showed her Secrets -

Morning's Nest -

The Rope the Nights

were put across -

And now - "Would'st

have me for a Guest"?

And then, I brake

My life - And Lo,

A Light, for her,

did solemn glow,

The larger, as her

face withdrew -

And could she, further,

"No"?

- Emily Dickinson

Evermore by Taylor Swift (feat. Bon Iver) is lowkey the perfect song for Emily and Sue.

TW: Mental health issues, mention of suicide, homophobia

This will be long. I'm mostly thinking of Emily and Sue in general, but this could be applied to Dickinson or any Emisue related piece of media if wanted.

“Gray November // I've been down since July // Motion capture // Put me in a bad light // I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone // Trying to find the one where I went wrong...”

“Hey December // Guess I'm feeling unmoored // Can't remember // What I used to fight for // I rewind the tape, but all it does is pause // On the very moment all was lost // Sending signals // To be double-crossed.”

Emily is often characterized as depressed to some degree. And I'm sure she at least felt depressed at some point, as most do (but not everyone who feels depressed at times had depression). “I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone // Trying to find the one where I went wrong...” and “I rewind the tape, but all it does is pause // On the very moment all was lost // Sending signals // To be double-crossed.”, could be her regretting not protesting Sue’s marriage to Austin more and feeling tricked by the universe for making it harder to be queer in the society they were in.

“... Writing letters // Addressed to the fire.”

Emily wanted Lavinia to burn all of her poems before she died (which Vinnie didn't do thank God), poems which she called her “letter(s) to the world”. Unfortunately, Vinnie did burn a lot of Emily's literal letters to correspondences.

“And I was catching my breath // Staring out an open window // Catching my death // And I couldn't be sure // I had a feeling so peculiar // That this pain would be for // Evermore.”

Emily wrote her poems at a small desk by her bedroom window. There are plenty of poems that to me sound like she could've written them while simply looking out her window, like "A Bird came down the Walk". If she spent so much time by the window, and maybe the window was opened from time to time, she could've gotten sick from the cold winter outside. And it worth mentioning that, while Emily's exact cause of death is debated, in letters she described headache and nausea before her death, which can come from cold weather. She might've literally caught her death.

You could also take the phrase metaphorically. She stares at the state of the world, like you would out of an open window, and get so upset at it that she could die from the pain and that it would last forever.

“And I was catching my breath // Barefoot in the wildest winter // Catching my death...”

To me, this song mentioning being barefoot in the winter could symbolize being vulnerable in depression. It's easier to die from depression when you are vulnerable to the pain or numbness it can bring. Notably, Emily Dickinson used the imagery of being barefoot. I read an excerpt from an article that suggested that Emily could've used bare feet as a symbol of erotism or religious meanings.

“Cannot think of all the cost // And the things that will be lost // Oh can we just get a pause? // To be certain we'll be tall again...”

Ooh! For me, this bridge is one of the hardest to decode that Taylor has written. In regards to Emily and Sue, “Cannot think of all the coast // And the things that will be lost...” could be not being able to think of all the things that you would sacrifice by being in a queer relationship if you were caught, especially during the 1800s. Things like being ostracized or killed. You get to be in love and happy, but at what cost? You wouldn't want to think about it; you'd just want to be happy with your lover. And “Oh can we just get a pause? // To be certain we'll be tall again...” could be wanting to stop time, or pause, to be certain the relationship will be okay and they can live boldly in bliss without fear, or be “tall” again.

“Whether weather be the frost // Or the violence of the dog days // I'm on waves, out being tossed // Is there a line that I could just go cross?”

The song is saying whether times are cruel in the way winter is, or in the way the hottest days of summer are (like maybe specifically whether the relationship goes through a tough patch because of society or because or a dispute actually happening inside it between Emily and Sue), hard times are hard times and you’ll feel like you're being tossed by waves. “Is there a line that I could just go cross?” could be wanting to throw away all fears and be with the person you love. Wanting to just cross the line.

“And when I was shipwrecked // I thought of you // In the cracks of light // I dreamed of you // It was real enough // To get me through // I swear // You were there.”

The second bridge (written here without Justin’s backup vocals for simplicity) illustrates the feeling of love pulling you out of a dark time. Of course, love can't cure depression, but having a good support system can be really beneficial. Also, in Dickinson season one, episode three, Emily has a dream about her and Sue on a ship caught in a storm where Sue jumps off into the sea before Emily wakes up, so it’s pretty perfect. And on top of that, there’s a letter Emily wrote Sue in real life that read, “You must let me go first, Sue, because I live in the sea always and know the road. I would have drowned twice to save you sinking, dear, If I could only have covered your eyes so you wouldn't have seen the water.”

“And I was catching my breath // Floors of a cabin creaking under my step // And I couldn't be sure // I had a feeling so peculiar // This pain wouldn't be for // Evermore // Evermore // Evermore // This pain wouldn't be for evermore // Evermore.”

The song ends with the resolution that pain doesn't last forever, like how happiness doesn't last either. You can't have one without the other. In reference to Emily and Sue, I like to think about how Sue helped carry on Emily's legacy after her death and of them being able to be happy and worry-free in the afterlife, with Emily finally reaching the status of a true poet. With the “catching my breath” line I think of the last scene in Dickinson where Emily looks at the painting of the ship on her wall and breaths before the sequence where she meets the mermaids. If Ivy from Evermore is perfect for Sue, this song is a perfect fit for Emily.

EDIT: One small thing I forgot to mention is that this song was actually released on Emily’s 190th birthday, so that’s super cool!

In conclusion: they're perfect wives and they better be happy in heaven right now.

[2/7] Relationships: Emily Dickinson and Susan Huntington Gilbert

I am sick today, dear Susie, and have not been to church. There has been a pleasant quiet, in which to think of you, and I have not been sick eno’ that I cannot write to you. I love you as dearly, Susie, as when love first began, on the step at the front door, and under the Evergreens, and it breaks my heart sometimes, because I do not hear from you. [...] I miss you, mourn for you, and walk the Streets alone — often at night, beside, I fall asleep in tears, for you dear face, yet not one word comes back to me from that silent West. [...] — Affy, Emilie —

I have intended to write you Emily to-day but the quiet has not been mine. I send you this, lest I should seem to have turned away from a kiss — If you have suffered this past summer I am sorry I Emily bear a sorrow that I never uncover — — If a nightingale sings with her breast against a thorn, why not we [!] When I can, I shall write — Sue —

Martha Dickinson Bianchi described her mother and her aunt watching and waiting for a few private moments in a day when they could talk, deliver letters face-to-face, and exchange favored reading materials. These exchanges usually took place in the “Northwest Passage”, the back hallway of the Homestead (Open Me Carefully: Emily Dickinson’s intimate letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson).

“La buena suerte no es casual, es producto del trabajo; así la sonrisa de la fortuna tiene que ganarse a pulso”

Emily Dickinson

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson, fue una poeta estadounidense nacida en Massachusetts en diciembre de 1830. Su poesía la sitúa entre los poetas fundamentales estadounidenses junto a Edgar Allan Poe, Ralph Waldo Emerson y Walt Withman.

Proveniente de una familia rica de Nueva Inglaterra, sus antepasados habían llegado a los Estados Unidos en la primera ola migratoria puritana y la estricta religión protestante influiría sobre la obra de la artista.

Su padre era abogado, juez y congresista y su madre estuvo al cuidado de sus hijas, tuvo un hermano mayor y una hermana menor.

Es casi imposible reconstruir la infancia de la poeta, ya que son escasos los datos que poseen los investigadores, solo se sabe que tuvo relación con dos primas huérfanas a las cuales ayudó a educar y a una de ellas, le llegó a leer alguno de sus poemas.

Su hermano Austin Dickinson, se casó en 1856 con Susan Huntington Gilbert, quien era excompañera de estudios de Emily en la Academia Amherst, y parece haber cumplido un importante papel en la vida emocional de la escritora, ya que siendo vecinos, Susan se convirtió en amiga, amante y confidente de la poeta, hechos que constan en la correspondencia dirigida a ella, en donde Susan al parecer fue la destinataria de cerca de trescientos poemas de amor.

Durante toda su vida, Emily se puso en manos de hombres a los que consideraba más sabios que ella, y que podían indicarle qué libros debía leer, cómo organizar sus conocimientos y allanarle el camino del arte que ella pretendía recorrer.

El encierro y aislamiento autoimpuestos de Emily Dickinson, no fueron súbitos ni anormales al comienzo. Desde su alejamiento del seminario hasta su muerte, Emily vivió tranquilamente en la casa de su padre. Entre sus veinte y treinta años, Emily iba a la iglesia, hacía compras y se comportaba perfectamente en todos los aspectos, pero a finales de 1861, la poeta comenzó a rehuir las visitas y las salidas, y empezó a vestirse exclusivamente de blanco.

Por otra parte, su hermana Laivina, jugó el papel de compañera y amiga de la poeta, de quien sentía una profunda adoración y respeto, manteniendo ocultas sus obras y vida privada hasta donde le fue dado hacerlo. La fe de Laivina en las obras de su hermana, permitieron la protección para la posteridad de sus obras. 

En los últimos quince años de su vida, nadie en Amherst volvió a verla, a menos que algún paseante ocasional la viera pasear vestida de blanco por el jardín de los Dickinson en verano.

Cuando murió su sobrino menor, último hijo de Austin Dickinson y Susan Gilbert, el espíritu de Emily que adoraba a ese niño, se quebró definitivamente. Paso todo el verano de 1884 en una silla, postrada por el mal de Bright, muriendo en mayo de 1886 a la edad de 55 años.

Solo cuatro escritos fueron publicados en vida, y poco después de la muerte de la poetisa, su hermana Vinnie descubrió ocultos en su habitación 40 volúmenes encuadernados a mano, los cuales contenían parte sustancial de la obra de Emily, y mas de 800 poemas nunca publicados ni vistos por nadie.

Su primera colección de poesías se publicó en 1890, y en 1955, el erudito Thomas H. Johnson publicó una colección completa de Dickinson, la primera de poesía y en su mayoría sin cambios, y a pesar de que tuvo una crítica y recepción desfavorable a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, Emily Dickinson esta considerada de forma casi universal como una de las mas importantes poetas estadounidenses de todos los tiempos.

IN JUNE 1852, Emily Dickinson sent a letter to her friend Susan Huntington Gilbert, who was away from home teaching mathematics at Robert Archer's school for girls in Baltimore, Maryland.  The letter was carried and delivered to Susan by Emily's father, Edward Dickinson, on his way to Baltimore to serve as a delegate to the national Whig convention.  "Why cant I be a Delegate to the great Whig Convention?" asks Dickinson in the letter's postscript. "Dont I know all about Daniel Webster, and the Tariff, and the Law?  Then, Susie, I could see you, during a pause in the session."  Placed for Susan to see when she first unfolded the letter is Emily's tender instruction, "open me carefully - "

i agree on your Sue ask!

do you have any recommended resources to learn more about our beloved Susan Huntington Gilbert Dickinson??

30 minutes did not feel long enough for those damn episodes. i always wanted more screen time for her because from what i’ve read, she was quite the mf woman. i mean traveling abroad like 4 times in your 70’s in the 1900’s? hardcore af!

i wanted more of her and Emily together! especially since IRL they had their little meetups and coffee time. more of her and Emily talking literature and poetry. more of math genius Sue. snobby/ruthless Sue! more of her serving cunt and being a socialite!

also, i feel like i remember reading something about maybe her and kate anthon being a thing before kate and emily were maybe a thing? do you know if that’s true??

thank you for sharing your knowledge as always! <3

UGH ANON THERE IS SIMPLY NOT 👏 ENOUGH 👏 GLORIOUS 👏 INFORMATION 👏 ABOUT SUE 👏 H. 👏 GILBERT 👏 DICKINSON

What I can tell you is this: 

Read Sue’s own writing! A lot of her works are available on emilydickinson.org, like her story, “A Hole in Haute Society” (first published in the Springfield Republican). Her poems are also on that digital archive, like “One asked, when was the grief?” 

Our main squeeze Martha Nell Smith is reportedly working on a biography of Sue specifically so…more to come 😎 I am…so…excited. While we wait for that, she has a brief account of Sue’s life here… 

There’s also all the usual Emily biographers who tend to mention Sue in passing. A Loaded Gun, Lives like Loaded Guns, Figuring, anything by Martha…

Between all of those, you begin to piece things together. 

And what you piece together is that Sue is a really complex person who lived a fascinating, tragic, and colorful life that we only know a fraction about. Like we know Ms. “Traveled abroad 4 times in your 70s” and Ms. “Was so good at math she could’ve gone to Yale if she ‘wasn’t a woman’”. But there’s also the Sue who navigated mental health crises, abortions, affairs and open marriages, poetry and art, and grief and grief and grief and grief (!!!). There is SO MUCH TO SAY and SO MUCH TO KNOW about this woman! 

Sue Gilbert spinoff…when?? Apple TV, don’t be a coward. (I am kidding, I think maybe it would be a bad spinoff. Not because of Sue but because of Apple TV lol.) 

And also...

Also !!

YES, she DID INDEED HAVE A THING WITH KATE BEFORE EMILY DID. 💀 They both attended Utica Female Academy together, and ESSENTIALLY (buckle up) Sue was like an RA and she knocked on Kate’s door one night and Kate just…kissed her? Kate wrote about it once, saying: “Dear, dear Sue, I have loved you always, since the first night you were “monitoress.” And I hardly knew you, but kissed your dear face simply because I could not help it! Your sweet eyes looked into mine, and I could never forget them!”

Like YAAAS KATE 👏 WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE 👏  

It’s my personal narrative (i.e. unproven) that Sue sort of…set up Kate & Emily in an effort to distract Emily & put an end to their affair. It didn’t work, obvs, because (1) Sue is a jealous queen (love her) and because (2) Kate ended things with Emily*

*It is also my personal narrative that Kate always harbored more feelings for Sue than for Emily, if her letters are to be believed; I think she stayed in correspondence with Sue all the way up until Sue’s death. 

I could LEGIT talk about the Kate/Sue/Emily love triangle all day because tbh it’s a reminder that queer ladies have been messy for centuries, and i think that’s beautiful?? 🥴 

Anyway if you have read all the way to this point in the ask, you are a real hero. the ghost of sue gilbert and I admire you & your tenacity. 

#someone innocently asks me about sue gilbert and i...go off #like no one deserves this kind of treatment i am so sorry BUT I HAVE TO SHARE THESE THINGS!! #sue!rights!! #asks

The Dickinson children (Emily on the left), c. Johnson published The Poems of Emily Dickinson in 1955. A complete, and mostly unaltered, collection of her poetry became available for the first time when scholar Thomas H. At least eleven of Dickinson's poems were dedicated to her sister-in-law Susan Huntington Gilbert Dickinson, though all the dedications were obliterated, presumably by Todd. A 1998 article in The New York Times revealed that of the many edits made to Dickinson's work, the name "Susan" was often deliberately removed. Her first collection of poetry was published in 1890 by personal acquaintances Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Mabel Loomis Todd, though both heavily edited the content. Īlthough Dickinson's acquaintances were most likely aware of her writing, it was not until after her death in 1886-when Lavinia, Dickinson's younger sister, discovered her cache of poems-that her work became public. Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends, and also explore aesthetics, society, nature, and spirituality. They contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation. The poems published then were usually edited significantly to fit conventional poetic rules. While Dickinson was a prolific writer, her only publications during her lifetime were 10 of her nearly 1,800 poems, and one letter. Dickinson never married, and most friendships between her and others depended entirely upon correspondence. Considered an eccentric by locals, she developed a penchant for white clothing and was known for her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, to even leave her bedroom. After studying at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she briefly attended the Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's home in Amherst.Įvidence suggests that Dickinson lived much of her life in isolation. ĭickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, into a prominent family with strong ties to its community. Little-known during her life, she has since been regarded as one of the most important figures in American poetry.
