263 <br /> <br /> <br />Is all that pins the Soul <br />That stands for Deity, to Mine, <br />Upon my side the Veil— <br /> <br />Once witnessed of the Gauze— <br />Its name is put away <br />As far from mine, as if no plight <br />Had printed yesterday, <br /> <br />In tender—solemn Alphabet, <br />My eyes just turned to see, <br />When it was smuggled by my sight <br />Into Eternity— <br /> <br />More Hands—to hold—These are but Two— <br />One more new-mailed Nerve <br />Just granted, for the Peril's sake— <br />Some striding—Giant—Love— <br /> <br />So greater than the Gods can show, <br />They slink before the Clay, <br />That not for all their Heaven can boast <br />Will let its Keepsake—go<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-single-screw-of-flesh/
