Emily Dickinson’s manuscript of “Wild Nights”
Handwriting Analysis:
The relatively severe right slant of the letters indicates a writer who is “emotional and garrulous,” but the steadfastness of the line (without any rule marks, natch) indicates a controlled, goal-oriented individual, so we’re not sure what’s going on there. Her large writing suggest a need for attention and “elbow room,” which we’re not sure quite tracks either. But large loops are supposed to mean sensual and hungry, which we totally buy.
one of my favorites of hers…good for wooing. “Rowing in Eden- Ah! the Sea! Might I but moor- Tonight- In thee!”
