To see her is a picture — To hear her is a tune — To know her an Intemperance
As innocent as June — To know her not — Affliction — To own her for a Friend
A warmth as near as if the Sun
Were shining in your Hand.

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.

I read my sentence - steadily . . .
