Emily Dickinson is one of the highest regarded poets to ever write. In America, perhaps only Walt Whitman is her equal in legend and in degree of influence.

In one of Dickinson's most beloved poems, 'Hope is the Thing With Feathers', Dickinson portrays hope as a bird that lives within the human soul; this bird sings come rain or shine, gale or storm, good times or bad.
