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

I dwell in Possibility — A fairer House than Prose — More numerous of Windows — Superior — for Doors — Of Chambers as the Cedars — Impregnable of Eye — And for an Everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky — Of Visitors — the fairest — For Occupation — This — The spreading wide of narrow Hands
To gather Paradise —

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!
