Emily Dickinson: We never know...

Source: DRAMATISTS

We never know how high we are
Till we are called to rise.
And then, if we are true to plan,
Our statures touch the skies.

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