emily dickinson was a romanticism poet. she had a brother and a sister, but was quite lonely, only with the company of her siblings, Benjamin Newton, and a few other friends. one of her closest friends was susan gilbert, her brothers wife. they were very close and emily sent her more than 300 letters, many containing romantic material in it, which leads historians to think they had a relationship, which is even more proved by the nature of dickinson's poems.

poem 269
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 but moor - tonight -
In thee!
poem 14
One Sister have I in our house -
And one a hedge away.
There's only one recorded,
But both belong to me.
One came the way that I came -
And wore my past year's gown -
The other as a bird her nest,
Builded our hearts among.
She did not sing as we did -
It was a different tune -
Herself to her a Music
As Bumble-bee of June.
Today is far from Childhood -
But up and down the hills
I held her hand the tighter -
Which shortened all the miles -
And still her hum
The years among,
Deceives the Butterfly;
Still in her Eye
The Violets lie
Mouldered this many May.
I spilt the dew -
But took the morn, -
I chose this single star
From out the wide night's numbers -
Sue - forevermore!
