My Eye Is Fuller Than My Vase - meaning Summary
Eye Holds More Than Vase
The speaker contrasts inner vision and feeling with outward containers and riches. She imagines her eye holding a cargo of dew that exceeds a vase’s capacity, and claims her heart and sight outweigh distant treasures "East India" might offer. The poem presents love or inward abundance as more capacious and valuable than physical vessels or exotic material goods, privileging emotional and perceptual riches over external objects.
