*yawn* Good morning, more or less. Oh, right, that means it's also Poetry Monday time:


"The Brain is wider than the Sky", 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—


---L.

Subject quote from "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell," William Blake.
