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.

To be alive──is Power.
Tis not that Dying hurts us so — ‘Tis Living — hurts us more — — Emily Dickinson, from “’Tis not that Dying hurts us so — ,” [335], <i>The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson</i> (Little, Brown & Co.,1960)
If you were coming in the fall,
I'd brush the summer by,
With half a smile and half a spurn,
As housewives do a fly.
If I could see you in a year,
I'd wind the months in balls,
And put them each in separate drawers,
Until their time befalls.
