XXX. Faith is a fine invention
For gentlemen who see;
But microscopes are prudent In an emergency!

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

When the Best is gone - I know that other things are not of consequence - The Heart wants what it wants - or else it does not care -

Perhaps I asked too large — I take — no less than skies — For Earths, grow thick as
Berries, in my native town — My Basket holds — just — Firmaments — Those — dangle easy — on my arm,
But smaller bundles — Cram.

It’s such a little thing to weep -
So short a thing to sigh -
And yet - by Trades - the size of these
We men and women die!
