Citation(s)

Among Dickinson's Late Papers is a manuscript--one text, several texts?--especially marked by the signs of flight. The manuscript, here identified by its catalog number A 821, constitutes a kind of exit-text. It may have been composed in a few minutes, or even seconds, in the early spring of 1885, since one line of the text re-appears, slightly altered, in three fair-copy drafts of a letter composed by Dickinson to Helen Hunt Jackson in March of that year, but apparently never completed or mailed.
