Dickinson, Emily

"How dreary - to be - somebody! How public - like a frog - to tell your name - the livelong June - to an admiring bog!"

"If I can stop one Heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one life the Aching
Or cool one Pain
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in Vain."
- If I can stop one Heart from breaking

"How dreary - to be - Somebody!
How public - like a Frog -
To tell one's name - the livelong June -
To an admiring Bog!"
- I'm Nobody! Who are you?
