Thanks Sara!

Sara sent me an email pointing out that Emily Dickinson was "mad as a hatter." Thought I could slip that one by, but you are way too keen. Emily did have a penchant for wearing white and was a tad anti-social, but her poetry...

Nature rarer uses yellow
Than another hue;
Saves she all of that for sunsets,—
Prodigal of blue,

Spending scarlet like a woman,
Yellow she affords
Only scantly and selectly,
Like a lover’s words.
