The world stands out on either side
No wider than the heart is wide;Above the world is stretched the sky,—
No higher than the soul is high.The heart can push the sea and land
Farther away on either hand;The soul can split the sky in two,
And let the face of God shine through.But East and West will pinch the heart
That can not keep them pushed apart;And he whose soul is flat—the sky
Will cave in on him by and by.– Edna St. Vincent Millay
