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

Remorse is memory awake,
Her companies astir, — A presence of departed acts
At window and at door.

Its past set down before the soul,
And lighted with a match,
Perusal to facilitate
Of its condensed despatch.

Remorse is cureless, — the disease
Not even God can heal;
For ’t is His institution, — The complement of hell.

Our journey had advanced; Our feet were almost come To that odd fork in Being's road, Eternity by term. Our pace took sudden awe, Our feet reluctant led. Before were cities, but between, The forest of the dead. Retreat was out of hope,— Behind, a sealed route, Eternity's white flag before, And God at every gate.

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.
