He was weak, and I was strong

Poem 190

 

American poetry

Original English Text

 

He was weak, and I was strong—then—

So He let me lead him in—

I was weak, and He was strong then—

So I let him lead me—Home.

 

‘Twasn’t far—the door was near—

‘Twasn’t dark—for He went—too—

‘Twasn’t loud, for He said nought—

That was all I cared to know.

 

Day knocked—and we must part—

Neither—was strongest—now—

He strove—and I strove—too—

We didn’t do it—tho’!

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.
