The Power of the Mind
Some say that the brain is one of the most powerful things one could possess. The mind can create and it can destroy; it should never be put to waste. No one knows the boundaries or the restrictions that the brain holds because no one has used it to its limit. No one has been able to use the brain to its full capacity. It seems as though Emily Dickinson is one of the many believers in the grandness of the brain and is well aware of the great power that the mind possesses. Some of Dickinson's works suggest that she has a great admiration and a very high regard for the supremacy of the mind. Two of her poems in particular, "The Brain-is wider than the Sky-" and "To Make a Prairie It Takes a Clover," appear to be unmistakable evidence of her attitudes and beliefs towards the magnificence and the grandeur that the brain and the mind hold. In "The Brain-is wider than the Sky-," Dickinson compares the brain to other objects which could be considered to be grand. The never-ending sky, her first comparison, would seem minute, simply miniscule, compared to the width, the magnitude, of the brain. The enormity of both the sky and the brain are immeasurable. However, if one were to put both of them side by side, the vastness and the immensi
The brain is truly the most powerful thing that one could possess. If one wants to create a sky, a sea, or anything else, one could easily do it almost effortlessly using one's mind. The brain is so capable that it can hold both the sky and one's self with ease. According to Dickinson in "To Make a Prairie It Takes a Clover," all that would be necessary to make a prairie would be just "one clover, and a bee, and revery. ty of the sky could be very easily overtaken by that of the brain. The mind's imagination alone would be sufficient in creating a prairie. It is very evident in her writings that she believes that the mind is a very majestic and magnificent thing which has absolutely nothing to hold it back from going further and further. The brain is capable of retaining vast amounts of information. There is nothing to which the brain can be accurately compared. There are no boundaries for the brain or for its capabilities to create and hold a variety and a large amount of information. There would be no need for a clover and one bee. The mind can create whatever it wishes, whatever it can think of, whether it is a prairie or even whole new worlds. The imagination has endless possibilities and there is nothing that can stop it from thinking and imagining. The brain may seem as endless as the sky, but there must eventually be a boundary to which the sky can go, some kind of end, but the powerful brain knows no limits. There is nothing existing that has as many abilities, as much capability to retain information, or as much imagination.
