Emily Dickinson

The Soul’s Superior Instants

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Have infinite withdrawn—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
