The hallowing of Pain
Like hallowing of Heaven,
Obtains at a corporeal cost — The Summit is not given
to Him who strives severe
At middle of the Hill — But He who has achieved the Top — All — is the price of All

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.
