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
I felt a Cleaving in my Mind — As if my Brain had split — I tried to match it — Seam by Seam — But could not make it fit.
The thought behind, I strove to join
Unto the thought before — But Sequence ravelled out of Sound
Like Balls — upon a Floor.
People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles.
Perhaps I asked too large — I take — no less than skies — For Earths, grow thick as
Berries, in my native town — My Basket holds — just — Firmaments — Those — dangle easy — on my arm,
But smaller bundles — Cram.
