THE SOUL'S SUPERIOR INSTANTS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Of immortality
Subject(s): Immortality; Soul


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Have infinite withdrawn -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
