Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924.

Part One: Life

CVI

I FELT a cleavage in my mind

As if my brain had split;

I tried to match it, seam by seam,

But could not make them fit.

The thought behind I strove to join

Unto the thought before,

But sequence ravelled out of reach

Like balls upon a floor.
