"We'd never know how high we are
till we are called to rise;
and then, if we are true to plan,
our statures touch the sky."
till we are called to rise;
and then, if we are true to plan,
our statures touch the sky."
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson
A prolific American poet, who became known
for her penchant for white clothing and her reluctance
to greet guests or, later in life, even leave her room.
Most of her friendships were, therefore,
carried out by correspondence.
