Awesome poem ! Very brief for a master... Especially liked this:Hoping this is not true... "Remorse is memory awake," - Emily Dickinson LXIX / or Remorse is memory awake... https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/remo...-memory-awake/Only the theme I sing, the great and strong-possess'd soul, eludes not,/One's-self must never give way, that is the final substance, that out of all is sure

Sonnet to Liberty: "in some things" an interesting way to end the poem.
