The Brain--is wider than the Sky--

The Brain-is wider than the Sky-
For-put them side by side-
The one the other will contain
With ease-and You-beside-

The Brain is deeper than the sea-
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-Heft them-Pound for Pound-
And they will differ-if they do-
As Syllable from Sound-

(Emily Dickinson)

emily dickinson, poem of the day
