And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.

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

"It's a great thing to be "great," Loo, and you and I might tug for a life, and never accomplish it, but no one can stop our looking on, and you know some cannot sing, but the orchard is full of birds, and we all can listen. What if we learn, ourselves, some day!"

There are depths in every Consciousness, from which we cannot rescue ourselves - to which none can go with us.

Behavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes.

Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all. - Emily Dickinson
