Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

Superiority to Fate

Superiority to fate
  Is difficult to learn.
'T is not conferred by any,
  But possible to earn

A pittance at a time,
  Until, to her surprise,
The soul with strict economy
  Subsists till Paradise.

1. Precedence
2. Unto My Books So Good to Turn
3. The Lovers
4. The Moon Is Distant from the Sea
5. Who Robbed the Woods
