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
Nature is what we know / Yet have not art to say / So impotent our wisdom is / To her simplicity.
Bless God, he went as soldiers,
His musket on his breast — Grant God, he charge the bravest
Of all the martial blest!
Please God, might I behold him
In epauletted white — I should not fear the foe then — I should not fear the fight!
Crumbling is not an instant's Act
A fundamental pause
Dilapidation's processes
Are organized Decays.
'Tis first a Cobweb on the Soul
A Cuticle of Dust
A Borer in the Axis
An Elemental Rust — Ruin is formal — Devil's work
Consecutive and slow — Fail in an instant, no man did
Slipping — is Crash's law.
