" "

If the stillness is Volcanic
In the human face
When upon a pain Titanic
Features keep their place-

If at length the smoldering anguish
Will not overcome-
And the palpitating Vinyard
In the dust, be overthrown?

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.
