Emily Dickinson Museum, Amherst, Massachusetts

Find whether truth and beauty are one and the same, chase the light that exists only in spring, let death kindly stop for you. Visit the home and beautiful garden of Emily Dickinson; in her white dresses (myth) and agoraphobic state, she was the perfect image of femininity in reaction to the patriarchal society that called her poetry witty but too fragile.
