Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those we have personality and emotion know what it means to want to escape from these things.
Emily Dickinson

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.
The heroism we recite
Would be a daily thing
Did not ourselves the cubits warp
For fear to be a king.
