If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,

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

A Bird came down the Walk –

He bit an Angleworm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw,

And then he drank a Dew
From a convenient Grass –
And then hopped sidewise to the Wall
To let a Beetle pass –
...

Forever is composed of nows..

Now, when I read, I read not,
For interrupting tears
Obliterate the etchings
Too costly for repairs.
