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

To-morrow, night will come again,

Love is its own rescue; for we, at our supremest, are but its trembling emblems.

There's a certain slant of light,
On winter afternoons,
That oppresses, like the weight
Of cathedral tunes.
