The Brain Is Wider Than the Sky
By Emily Dickinson
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 —
