Emily Dickinson Sky Quotations

We'd never know how high we are, till we are called to rise; and then, if we are true to plan, our statures touch the sky

The brain is wider than the sky.

My only sketch, profile, of Heaven is a large blue sky, and larger than the biggest I have seen in June - and in it are my friends - every one of them.

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.

The brain is wider than the sky, For, put them side by side, The one the other will include With ease, and you beside.
