THE SOUL'S SUPERIOR INSTANTS by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

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Have infinite withdrawn -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
