There is a solitude of space,
A solitude of sea,
A solitude of death, but these
Society shall be,
Compared with that profounder site,
That polar privacy,
A Soul admitted to Itself:
Finite Infinity.
.
~ Emily Dickinson
.
The wine of life is oozing drop by drop,
The leaves of life are falling one by one.
~ Omar Khayyam
.
Happy are those who know:
Behind all words, the Unsayable stands;
And from that source alone, the Infinite
Crosses over to gladness, and us -
Free of our bridges
Built with the stone of distinctions;
So that always, within each delight,
We gaze at what is purely single and joined.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

I love this poem and had posted it on my blog. I also posted this short but powerful poem where Emily Dickinson succinctly describes the eternal nature of Love.
Love—is anterior to Life—
Posterior—to Death—
Initial of Creation, and
The Exponent of Breath—
This profound poem also reminds me of another one by Emily Dickinson where she writes that the brain is wider than the sky and deeper than the sea, also a finite infinity.
