Troubled About Many Things
The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called "the Poetry of the Portfolio,"—something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind.

Yet she wrote verses in great abundance. (from the Introduction to Poems: Three Series, Complete, by Emily Dickinson)
