The Road and the End by C. Sandburg October 5th, 1971 ^ Guin, Left Hand of
Darkness
I shall foot it
Down the roadway in the dusk,
Where shapes of hunger wander
And the fugitives of pain go by.
I shall foot it
In the silence of the morning,
See the night slur into dawn,
Hear the slow great winds arise
Where tall trees flank the way
And shoulder toward the sky.

The broken boulders by the road
Shall not commemorate my ruin.
Regret shall be the gravel underfoot.
I shall watch for
Slim birds swift of wing
That go where wind and ranks of thunder
Drive the wild processionals of rain.

The dust of the traveled road
Shall touch my hands and face. ° c ass-
Stay close to your morals and family because if what is to
come is as said, then you’ll need everything you have (GOD) to
stay the precious people you are.

The Soul selects her own Society
Then — shuts the Door —
To her divine Majority —
Present no more — ”
Dickinson, The Soul Selects Her Own

Society

“Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrowth shell by life’s unresting sea!”
