Soul and Sense

by Hannah Parker Kimball English

Myriads of motley molecules through space
Move round triumphant. By their whirlpool pace
Shall we be shaken? All in earth’s vast span,
Our very bodies, veer to other shapes,
Mid the mad dance one stubborn power escapes,
Looks on and marvels,—’t is the soul of man.
