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

You left me boundaries of pain / Capacious as the sea, / Between eternity and time, / Your consciousness and me.

A little road not made of man,
Enabled of the eye,
Accessible to thill of bee,
Or cart of butterfly.

If town it have, beyond itself,
’T is that I cannot say;
I only sigh, — no vehicle
Bears me along that way.

Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality.

Because I could not stop for Death He kindly stopped for me The Carriage held but just Ourselves And Immortality. - Emily Dickinson
