dahlia_moonI thought that nature was enough
Till human nature came,
But that the other did absorb
As firmament a flame.
Of human nature just aware
There added the divine
Brief struggle for capacity.
The power to contain
Is always as the contents,
But give a giant room
And you will lodge a giant
And not a lesser man.
Emily Dickinson
