Poèmes au programme :


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Have infinite withdrawn –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.
