Original English Text
‘Tis Seasons since the Dimpled War
In which we each were Conqueror
And each of us were slain
And Centuries ’twill be and more
Another Massacre before
So modest and so vain –
Without a Formula we fought
Each was to each the Pink Redoubt
And frailer than the Snow
…

– Emily Dickinson –
Emily Dickinson is considered the greatest American poet. Emily Dickinson was born in 1830 in Armherst, Massachusetts.
At the age of twenty-five, Emily Dickinson decided to estrange herself from the world by retiring to a solitary life in her parents’ home.
Little interested in publishing her poems, she shows a creativity as an end in itself, with no need for external opinions or notoriety.
Emily Dickinson hides almost all her poems that remain secret; during his life he published only 7 texts. Emily Dickinson died of nephritis in the same house where she was born and lived, on May 15, 1886 at the age of 55.
At his death his sister Vinnie discovered in the room of Emily 1775 poems written on folded and sewn sheets with needle and thread all contained in a binder.
In 1890 her sister published a first volume of poems by Emily Dickinson, followed by a long series, making Emily Dickinson and her poetic and solitary work known to the world.
