“She died--this was the way she died;And when her breath was done,Took up her simple wardrobeAnd started for the sun.Her little figure at the gateThe angels must have spied,Since I could never find herUpon the mortal side.”

American poet of the 19th century, Emily Dickinson is best known for her reclusive life and her distinctive, compressed verse. Her work explores themes of mortality, nature, and the soul with an unmatched precision and emotional depth.
