655 <br /> <br />Without this—there is nought— <br />All other Riches be <br />As is the Twitter of a Bird— <br />Heard opposite the Sea— <br /> <br />I could not care—to gain <br />A lesser than the Whole— <br />For did not this include themself— <br />As Seams—include the Ball? <br /> <br />I wished a way might be <br />My Heart to subdivide— <br />'Twould magnify—the Gratitude— <br />And not reduce—the Gold—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/without-this-there-is-nought/
