Emily Dickinson on the Brain
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
One of Sully's readers pointed out how well this poem goes with the Roger Penrose quote on the brain being the most powerful thing in the universe.
