The Mind
No crowd that has occurred
From Further Poems of Emily Dickinson (1929)
No crowd that has occurred
Exhibit, I suppose,
The general attendance
That Resurrection does.
Circumference be free,
The long-subjected Grave
Assert his primogeniture,
The Dust adjust and live.
On atoms features place,
All multitudes that were
Efface in the comparison,
As suns annul a star.
Solemnity prevail,
Its individual doom
Possess each separate consciousness,
August, resistless, dumb.
What duplicate exist—
What parallel can be—
Of the stupendousness of this
To universe and me?
