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

"Houses" — so the Wise Men tell me — "Mansions"! Mansions must be warm!
Mansions cannot let the tears in,
Mansions must exclude the storm!

"Many Mansions," by "his Father,"
I don't know him; snugly built!
Could the Children find the way there — Some, would even trudge tonight!

I like a look of Agony,
Because I know it's true — Men do not sham Convulsion,
Nor simulate a Throe — The Eyes glaze once — and that is Death — Impossible to feign
The Beads upon the Forehead
By homely Anguish strung.

The Ocean’s Heart too Smooth - too Blue -
To break for you.
