At last to be identified!
At last, the lamps upon thy side,
The rest of life to see!
Past midnight, past the morning star!
Past sunrise! Ah! what leagues there are
Between our feet and day!

Emily Dickinson was a 19th-century American poet whose compressed, intensely personal verse was largely unpublished during her lifetime, yet now ranks among the most celebrated in the English language. Resurgam — Latin for "I shall rise again" — reflects her recurring preoccupation with resurrection, spiritual longing, and the liminal space between darkness and transcendence.
