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.

Additional quotes by Emily Dickinson

"Long Years apart — can make no"

Long Years apart — can make no
Breach a second cannot fill — The absence of the Witch does not
Invalidate the spell — The embers of a Thousand Years
Uncovered by the Hand
That fondled them when they were Fire
Will stir and understand —

Ningún cepo puede torturarme – mi alma – en libertad – debajo de este hueso mortal teje uno más audaz – No puedes serrucharlo – ni atravesarlo con la espada – dos cuerpos – hay – ata uno – el otro vuela – El águila de su nido no se aleja más fácil – y gana el cielo que lo que tu podrías – Excepto que seas tu propio enemigo – la prisión está en la conciencia – así como la libertad.
