The picture of the Dickinsons' house  		                      The Evergreens                    
on No.Pleasant St. in Emily Dickinson Collections
of Jones Library    		 It is home of Emily's brother Austin and his wife
Susan,  next to Homestead. When I stayed at
Amherst in 1986, Evergreens was occupied by
someone and prohibited from taking pictures.

                                                     



       I was the slightest in the House−
       I took the smallest Room−
       At night, my little Lamp, and Book−
       And one Geranium−

       So stationed I could catch the Mint
       That never ceased to fall−
                        ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

　    (from Poems of Emily Dickinson,
       J-486/1862)

West Cemetery
 
West Cemetery
Near the center rear of the cemetery, inside of
an ornate black iron fence, is the Dickinsons'
graveyard.		 Center of three tomb stones is Emily Dickinson's .
On the surface of her tomb stone read
"Called Back,"  her last words.
Actually there are four tomb stones: of Emily Dickinson, her father, her mother, her younger sister Lavinia. The rightest one is hidden in this picture.
