Analysis of Heaven is so far of the Mind
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
Heaven is so far of the Mind
That were the Mind dissolved—
The Site—of it—by Architect
Could not again be proved—
'Tis vast—as our Capacity—
As fair—as our idea—
To Him of adequate desire
No further 'tis, than Here—
