One ring binds them all

 One ring binds them all

Miro

The fool prepares her 'climb-ladder'* 

Then opens it to all

On her opening day and the day after

Greetings and laughs -

wall to wall

Moved, she notes the chariot's pausing

At her low gate;

Moved, a renown is declaiming

His rumblings of -

heavy weight

She has lived in an ample nation

She knows a thing or two

Then strikes a lightening, of the strangest formation

Then swings the ladder, silently

in the sky of blue

(* 'climb-ladder': a party, a social gathering, a net forum...)

The Soul selects her own Society

by Emily Dickinson          

The Soul selects her own Society -

Then - shuts the Door -

To her divine Majority -

Present no more -

Unmoved - she notes the Chariots - pausing -

At her low Gate -

Unmoved - an Emperor be kneeling

Upon her Mat -

I've known her - from an ample nation -

Choose One -

Then - close the Valves of her attention -

Like Stone -

c. 1862
