I thought that nature was enough

By Emily DickinsonSource: Emily Dickinson - PoetryDB (Public Domain)48 words

I thought that nature was enough

Till Human nature came

But that the other did absorb

As Parallax 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 smaller man
