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

كم بالغة سعادة الحجر
يتسكع وحده في الطرق بلا ضجر
فلا يهمه العمل
ولا بالمتطلبات يضيق الأمل
وثوبه البني ألبسه إياه
الدهر الذي من فوقه عبر
وهو كالشمس بكل حرية
يلمع وحده أو مع البقية
محققا وجوده
بكل بساطة وعفوية

Le monde est oval. On apprend l’eau par la soif, et la terre par le voyage en mer; la passion par les affres, et la paix par les récits de guerre; l’amour par la mort, et les oiseaux par l’hiver.
