303
The Soul selects her own Society –
Then – shuts the Door –
To her divine Majority –
Present no more –
Unmoved – she notes the Chariots – pausing –
At her low Gate –
Unmoved – an Emperor be kneeling
Upon her Mat –
I've known her – from an ample nation –
Choose One –
Then – close the Valves of her attention –
Like Stone --
304 The Day came slow – till Five o'clock – Then sprang before the Hills Like Hindered Rubies – or the Light A Sudden Musket – spills –
The Purple could not keep the East – The Sunrise shook abroad Like Breadths of Topaz – packed a Night – The Lady just unrolled –
The Happy Winds – their Timbrels took – The Birds – in docile Rows Arranged themselves around their Prince The Wind – is Prince of Those –
The Orchard sparkled like a Jew – How mighty 'twas – to be A Guest in this stupendous place – The Parlor – of the Day --
305 The difference between Despair And Fear – is like the One Between the instant of a Wreck – And when the Wreck has been –
The Mind is smooth – no Motion – Contented as the Eye Upon the Forehead of a Bust – That knows – it cannot see –
306
The Soul's Superior instants
Occur to Her – alone –
When friend – and Earth's occasion
Have infinite withdrawn –
Or She – Herself – ascended To too remote a Height For lower Recognition Than Her Omnipotent –
This Mortal Abolition Is seldom – but as fair As Apparition – subject To Autocratic Air –
Eternity's disclosure To favorites – a few – Of the Colossal substance Of Immortality
307
The One who could repeat the Summer day –
Were greater than itself – though
He Minutest of Mankind should be –
And He – could reproduce the Sun – At period of going down – The Lingering – and the Stain – I mean –
When Orient have been outgrown And Occident – become Unknown – His Name – remain --
308
I send Two Sunsets –
Day and I – in competition ran –
I finished Two – and several Stars –
While He – was making One –
His own was ampler – but as I Was saying to a friend – Mine – is the more convenient To Carry in the Hand --
309
For largest Woman's Hearth I knew –
'Tis little I can do –
And yet the largest Woman's Heart
Could hold an Arrow – too –
And so, instructed by my own,
I tenderer, turn Me to.
