If I can stop one Heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching
Or cool one pain
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in vain.

-- Emily Dickinson, (Dec 10 1830-1886), US poet; She was a reclusive stylist who combined spare lyricism with unorthodox diction.
