Of All the Souls That Stand Create, par Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

Of All the Souls That Stand Create

Of all the souls that stand create

I have elected one.

When sense from spirit files away,

And subterfuge is done;

When that which is and that which was

Apart, intrinsic, stand,

And this brief tragedy of flesh

Is shifted like a sand;

When figures show their royal front

And mists are carved sway,—

Behold the atom I Feferred

To all the lists of clay!
