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Have infinite withdrawn-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
