Emily Elizabeth Dickinson:
(10 December 1830 – 15 May 1886).
American poet whose work, together with that of Walt Whitman, ushered in a new era in American poetry: modernism. Although she led a reclusive life and achieved little fame during her active years, after her death she was recognised as one of the most important and influential figures in American poetry.

A light exists in Spring, not present in the year. At any other period, when March is scarcely here.
