Now, enjoy the short yet powerful poem:


I'm nobody! Who are you?

Are you nobody, too?

Then there's a pair of us — don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.



How dreary to be somebody!

How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!



Photograph of Emily Dickinson, seated, at the age of 16




A Quote:
"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all..."

To the virgins, to make much of time...by Robert Herrick

Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,  Old Time is still a-flying;  And this same flower that smiles today  Tomorrow will be dying.  The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,  The higher he’s a-getting,  The sooner will his race be run,  And nearer he’s to setting.  That age is best which is the first,  When youth and blood are warmer;  But being spent, the worse, and worst  Times still succeed the former.  Then be not coy, but use your time,  And while ye may, go marry;  For having lost but once your prime,  You may forever tarry. About the Poet Robert Herrick (24 August 1591 – buried 15 October 1674) was a 17th-century English lyric poet and cleric. He is best known for  Hesperides , a book of poems.
