First, I believe I took the term "mystic" as a primitive because I couldn't locate a definition in the texts that I consulted. Emily Dickinson was therefore just a definition of the term.
Second, I was stymied by the apparent "normalness" of the term "mystic" as I understood it and the sense that got that Emily Dickinson's "specialness" stemmed from her "mystic" nature. I did not know how to reconcile this seeming contradiction at the time.
