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
We grow accustomed to the Dark — When Light is put away — As when the Neighbor holds the Lamp
To witness her Good bye — A Moment — We Uncertain step
For newness of the night — Then — fit our Vision to the Dark — And meet the Road — erect — And so of larger — Darknesses — Those Evenings of the Brain — When not a Moon disclose a sign — Or Star — come out — within — The Bravest — grope a little — And sometimes hit a Tree
Directly in the Forehead — But as they learn to see — Either the Darkness alters — Or something in the sight
Adjusts itself to Midnight — And Life steps almost straight.
