Emily Dickinson is considered one of America's greatest poets. Born in 1830, she lived a reclusive fifty-five years in her Father's house. Of the almost two thousand poems she penned, only seven were published in her lifetime. For one who never experienced the world, she possessed an unfathomable, intellectual understanding of humanity.
"Life is so startling", she wrote, "it leaves little room for other occupations". I could not be a recluse, I enjoy the company of others and the excitement of being out in the world. I do envy the time to be totally devoted to one's talent.
"That love is all there is, is all we know of love",
Emily Dickinson did compose.
Oh say can you see, and if you can then show me.
Is my take on that illustrious quote.
