Review of “How Much the Present Moment Means” (1876/1877)
Emily Dickinson (writer).
Read in 2021.
It’s fun to see Dickinson calling out “the Atheist”, and depressing to find that, despite her doubts about Christianity, she rejects atheism. She does so with a lot less hatred than Psalms 58, and the imagery I must say is very nice.
