Part One: Life XIII |
| THE SOUL selects her own society, | |
| Then shuts the door; | |
| On her divine majority | |
| Obtrude no more. | |
| Unmoved, she notes the chariot’s pausing | 5 |
| At her low gate; | |
| Unmoved, an emperor is kneeling | |
| Upon her mat. | |
| I ’ve known her from an ample nation | |
| Choose one; | 10 |
| Then close the valves of her attention | |
| Like stone. |
