“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.”—American poet Edna St. Vincent Millay
(1892-1950), “Renascence,” in Collected Lyrics (1969)
