Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, and died on May 15, 1886. She was an American poet.
Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts in a prominent family with strong ties to its community. She studied at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she briefly attended the Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's house in Amherst.
Some claim that Dickinson lived much of her life in reclusive isolation. Considered an eccentric by locals, she developed a noted fondness of white clothing and became known for her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, to even leave her bedroom. Dickinson never married, and most friendships between her and others depended entirely upon the writing of letters.
While Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly 1,800 poems were published during her lifetime. The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. Her poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation. Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends.
Both Poems "Will There Really Be A Morning" and the poem "I Dwell In Possibility" were written by Emily Dickinson.
The word Morning in the poem "Will There Really Be A Morning" and the word Possibility in the poem "I Dwell In Possibility" have in common the fact that:
They both express the longing for a greater and better life. They express something bigger and more meaningful than trivial things.
They represent something great.
