The soul selects her own society,
- The soul selects her own society,
- Then shuts the door;
- On her divine majority
- Obtrude no more.
- Unmoved, she notes the chariot's pausing
- At her low gate;
- Unmoved, an emperor is kneeling
- Upon her mat.
- I've known her from an ample nation
- Choose one;
- Then close the valves of her attention
- Like stone.
