If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain ;
If I can ease one life the aching,

Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

About Emily Dickinson

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Virtually unknown in her lifetime, Dickinson has come to be regarded as one of the greatest American poets of the 19th century. Although she wrote (at latest count) 1789 poems, only a few of them were published in her lifetime, all anonymously, and some perhaps without her knowledge.

Che si posa nell'anima
E canta melodia senza parole
E non smette mai, proprio mai"
