About This Quote
It’s too high! COME TO THE EDGE! is a poem written in 1894 by English poet Emily Dickinson. The poem, which she wrote when she was in her early twenties, is about the thrill of success. However, the poem also serves as an admonition to people, including Dickinson herself, who are afraid of heights. It’s not that they are afraid they will fall, but that they are afraid of the height itself.
