THE THREE DIMENSIONS by RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: ROOM FOR THE SPHERES!' -- THEN FIRST THEY SHINED
Last Line: AND FOUND IT IN VARIETY.
"Room for the spheres!" -- then first they shined,
And dived into the ample sky;
"Room! room!" cried the new mankind,
And took the oath of liberty.
Room! room! willed the opening mind,
And found it in Variety.
