Emily Dickinson
A list of quotes by the reclusive American poet Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (1830 – 1886). Fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime.
Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul – and sings the tunes without the words – and never stops at all.
Excerpted from the poem “Hope” by Emily Dickinson.
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune–without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I’ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
