Emily Dickinson True Notes (set of 2)

Inspired by the life and work of Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) and the collections of the Emily Dickinson Museum and Amherst College, this pair of mini notebooks invites you to reveal your own thoughts, dreams and ideas. The covers feature a delicate floral pattern on one book, based on a fragment of the actual wallpaper from Dickinson’s bedroom, and, in Dickinson’s own handwriting, the manuscript of her poem “Tell all the truth but tell it slant” on the other:

Tell all the truth but tell it slant —
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind —
