On a Columnar Self –
How ample to rely
In Tumult – or Extremity –
How good the Certainty
That Lever cannot pry –
And Wedge cannot divide
Conviction – That Granitic Base –
Though none be on our side –
Suffice Us – for a Crowd –
Ourself – and Rectitude –
And that Assembly – not far off
From furthest Spirit – God
– Emily Dickinson (1863)
