Exclusion (The Soul Selects Her Own Society) Poem by Emily Dickinson

Exclusion (The Soul Selects Her Own Society)

Rating: 3.1


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.
