The Soul's superior instants

by Emily Dickinson · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880

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Have infinite withdrawn.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.
