568 We learned the Whole of Love— The Alphabet—the Words— A Chapter—then the mighty Book— Then—Revelation closed— But in Each Other’s eyes An Ignorance beheld— Diviner than the Childhood’s— And each to each, a Child— Attempted to expound What Neither—understood— Alas, that Wisdom is so large— And Truth—so manifold!

We learned the Whole of Love
568 We learned the Whole of Love— The Alphabet—the Words— A Chapter—then the mighty Book— Then—Revelation closed— But in Each Other’s eyes An Ignorance beheld— Diviner than the Childhood’s— And each to each, a Child— Attempted to expound What Neither—understood— Alas, that Wisdom is so large— And Truth—so manifold!
Emily Dickinson
1830 - 1886/Female/American
