I took my Power in my Hand—
And went against the World—
‘Twas not so much as David—had—
But I—was twice as bold—I aimed my Pebble—but Myself
Was all the one that fell—
Was it Goliath—was too large—
Or was myself—too small?
Poem by Emily Dickinson.
not even Solomon in all his glory • surrounded by goodness, beauty and truth
I took my Power in my Hand—
And went against the World—
‘Twas not so much as David—had—
But I—was twice as bold—I aimed my Pebble—but Myself
Was all the one that fell—
Was it Goliath—was too large—
Or was myself—too small?
Poem by Emily Dickinson.
