Introduction

Welcome!

The name’s Daniel.

In this quiet corner of the internet I’ll periodically bring attention to things I consider awe-inspiring, lovely or worthy of note.

The name of this site (“Wider Than the Sky") comes from an Emily Dickinson poem:

The Brain – is wider than the Sky –

For – put them side by side –

The one the other will contain

With ease – and You – beside –

The Brain is deeper than the sea –

For – hold them – Blue to Blue –

The one the other will absorb —

As Sponges – Buckets – do –

The Brain is just the weight of God –

For – Heft them – Pound for Pound –

And they will differ – if they do –

As Syllable from Sound –

(Poem number 632 in The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson edited by Thomas H. Johnson)

Till next time (if there is a next time)...

Peace be with you!
