We never know how high we are (Emily Dickinson)

Har, har. Today's poem, on 4/20, is Emily Dickinson's 'We never know how high we are'.

I know most people really like Emily Dickinson, but she's never been a favorite for me. Same for this poem - it's fine, but I don't really like it all that much. I like the sentiment in the poem of not knowing how high one is - how much one has achieved - until one is called upon to act. But, while that's nice, this poem didn't really do it for me.

Favorite line: "We never know how high we are / Till we are called to rise"
