About This Quote
In the poem by Rudyard Kipling, “My heart is so smallit’s almost invisible.How can You place such big sorrows in it?”, the speaker is a young boy who is simply overwhelmed by the kindness of the angel that visits him. He asks for God’s help, and God answers that he does not need to be helped. The angel then goes on to say that his eyes are even smaller than those of the boy, and they can see into all of creation.
