Strong Draughts of Their Refreshing Minds
To drink—enables Mine
Through Desert or the Wilderness
As bore it Sealed Wine—To go elastic—Or as One
The Camel's trait—attained—
How powerful the Stimulus
Of an Hermetic Mind—Cheers.

Not with a Club, the Heart is broken
Nor with a Stone-A Whip so small you could not see it
I've knownTo lash the Magic Creature
Till It fell,Yet that Whip's Name
Too noble then to tell.Magnanimous as Bird
By Boy decried-Singing unto the Stone
Of whIch it died-Shame need not crouch
In such an Earth as Ours-Shame - stand erect-
The Universe is yours. -
I love her poetry, but some of them are a little opaque for me.
