THE Soul’s superior instants

(33)

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Have infinite withdrawn.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.
-Emily Dickinson
