Emily Dickinson (1830–86). |
THE BRAIN is wider than the sky, | |
For, put them side by side, | |
The one the other will include | |
With ease, and you beside. | |
The brain is deeper than the sea, | 5 |
For, hold them, blue to blue, | |
The one the other will absorb, | |
As sponges, buckets do. | |
The brain is just the weight of God, | |
For, lift them, pound for pound, | 10 |
And they will differ, if they do, | |
As syllable from sound. |
