| The last stanza of Renascence, by Edna St, Vincent Millay. I've almost got it nailed. WHAT a piece of literature. God bless my lady Edna. The world stands out on either side | |
| No wider than the heart is wide; | |
| Above the world is stretched the sky,— | 205 |
| 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. | 210 |
| 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. |
