I don’t know that the person you were replying to was necessarily referencing Dickinson’s poem. But it seemed apropos.

Dickinson was neither happy nor homeless in her life so your conclusion is ignorantly asinine and shows a keen inability to understand art. And though she was not famous in her time, today she is recognized as one of the great American poets. But I’m sure BLM will find a statue of her somewhere to tear down since she was white. Perhaps you could help them?

did not know what asinine meant until i google searched the word. I am not entirely literate in english. I do not think that she was a homeless and happy person although to be a homeless nobody with nothing attached to your name, nothing to live up to and nothing to lose is to some ultimate happiness. Like that Greek guy I think he was called Diogenes? Have to google search that :)
