Poem

The Heart has narrow Banks

Emily Dickinson
The Heart has narrow Banks It measures like the Sea In mighty—unremitting Bass And Blue Monotony Till Hurricane bisect And as itself discerns Its sufficient Area The Heart convulsive learns That Calm is but a Wall Of unattempted Gauze An instant's Push demolishes A Questioning—dissolves.
