Exclusion

The soul selects her own society,Then shuts the door;On her divine majorityObtrude no more.

Unmoved, she notes the chariot's pausingAt her low gate;Unmoved, an emperor is kneelingUpon her mat.

I've known her from an ample nationChoose oneThen close the valves of her attentionLike stone.
