Poem of the Day

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 deeper than the sea ­
For ­ hold them ­ Blue to Blue ­
The one the other will absorb ­
As Sponges ­ Buckets ­ do ­

I believe that Emily Dickinson was saying that there are no boundaries for the capabilities of the mind. In essence like a sponge, the brain can take in so much that it is difficult to imagine how much "absorption" takes place.
