Amherst: Emily Dickinson's world:
AMHERST, Massachusetts (AP) -- For years, the house where Emily Dickinson lived was used as faculty housing by Amherst College.
But fans of the famed reclusive poet, intent on making a literary pilgrimage to the place where she shut herself off from the world, kept leaning on the doorbell and tramping over the lawn.
And so, the college bowed to the inevitable, and the Emily Dickinson Museum was born. [...]
This summer, the college plans to repaint it mustard yellow like it was in the poet's day.
That's a summer job I would enjoy, painting Emily Dickinson's house.
