Quote #4
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise – (11-12)
What does a poet write with? That's right: her hands. This line reminds us that hands and the writing utensils they operate are one of any poet's main tools. It's a little hard to write with a pen between your toes—though it can be done. The line takes it further, though, and shows us how these little hands can connect both the poet and the reader with the infinite beyond. So it's not just hands that are a poet's tool; it's her mind and even soul as well.
