Occur to Her alone,
When friend and earth's occasion
Have infinite withdrawn.
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Have infinite withdrawn.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.
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.

As Apparition—subject

Eternity's disclosure
To favorites, a few,
Of the Colossal substance
Of immortality.
