For Emily Dickinson there were three
worlds, and she lived in all of them, making them the substance of everything
that she thought and wrote. There was the world of nature, the things and the
creatures that she saw, heard, felt about her, there was the "estate" that was
the world of friendship. And there was the world of the unseen and unheard. From
her youth she was looked upon as different. She was direct, impulsive, original,
and the droll wit who said unconventional things which others thought but dared
not speak, and said them incomparably well. The characteristics which made her
inscrutable to those who knew her continue to bewilder and surprise, for she
lived by paradoxes. Certainly the greatest paradox was the fact
that the three most pervasive friendships were the most elusive. She saw the
Reverend Charles Wadsworth of Philadelphia but three or four times in the course
of her life, and then briefly, yet her admiration of him as an ideal and her
yearning for him as a person were of us surpassed importance in her growth as a
poet. She sought out for professional advice the critic and publicist Thomas
Wentworth Higginson and invited his aid as mentor for more than twenty years,
though she never once adopted any counsel he dared to hazard. In the last decade
of her life, she came to be a warm admirer of the poet and novelist Helen Hunt
Jackson, the only qualified judge among Emily Dickinson's contemporaries who
believed her to be a great poet, yet Emily Dickinson steadfastly refused to
publish even though Mrs. Jackson' s importunity was
insistent.

单选题Analysts have had their go at humor, and I have read some of this interpretative literature, but without being greatly instructed. Humor can be dissected, as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind. In a newsreel theatre the other day, I saw a picture of a man who had developed the soap bubble to a higher point than it had never before reached. He had became the ace soap bubble blower of America, had perfected the business of blowing bubbles, refined it, doubled it, squared it, and had even worked himself up into a convenient lather. The effect was not pretty. Some of the bubbles were too big to be beautiful, and the blower was always jumping into them or out of them, or playing some sort of unattractive trick with them. It was, if anything, a rather repulsive sight. Humor is a little like that. it won't stand much blowing up, and it won't stand much poking, it has a certain fragility, an evasiveness, which one had best respect. Essentially, it is a complete mystery. A human frame convulsed with laughter, and the laughter becoming hysterical and uncontrollable, is as far out of balance as one shaken with the hiccoughs or in the throes of sneezing fit. One of the things commonly said about humorists is that they are really very sad people-clowns with a breaking heart. There is some truth in it, but it is badly stated. It would be more accurate, I think, to say that there is a deep vein of melancholy running through everyone's life and that the humorist, perhaps more sensible of it than some others, compensates for it actively and positively. Humorists fatten on trouble. They have always made trouble pay. They struggle along with a good will and endure pain cheerfully, knowing how well it will serve them in the sweet by and by. You find them wrestling with foreign languages, fighting folding ironing boards and swollen drainpipes, suffering the terrible discomfort of tight boots (or as Josh Billing wittily called them, "tite" boots). They pour out their sorrows profitably, in a form that is not quite fiction nor quite fact. Beneath the sparkling surface of these dilemmas flows the strong tide of human woe.
