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
Always enjoy Dickinson

Sonnet to Liberty: "in some things" an interesting way to end the poem.
Only...: "But it meant such desolate years"... so sad.

Both preceding poems speaking about the power of the written words.
Preludeis a good hands up for distinguishing verses from poems.
Some good questions:
