The career of flowers differs from ours only in inaudibleness. I feel more reverence as I grow for these mute creatures whose suspense or transport may surpass my own.

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.

It was not Death, for I stood up,
And all the Dead, lie down — It was not Night, for all the Bells
Put out their Tongues, for Noon.

"Love's stricken "why"
Is all that love can speak — Built of but just a syllable,
The hugest hearts that break."
