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
