"The brain within its groove"

XXVI.

The brain within its groove Runs evenly and true ; But let a splinter swerve, 'T were easier for you To put the water back When floods have slit the hills, And scooped a turnpike for themselves, And blotted out the mills !

 

from Poems by Emily Dickinson (1890)
