A poem claims that everything “parts away for the progress of” this concept and calls happiness the “efflux” of this concept. The speaker ends another poem by telling “dumb, beautiful ministers” that “you furnish your parts toward” this concept. This concept’s “gossamer thread” is likened to that of an animal in the second stanza of “A Noiseless Patient Spider.” “All things” are said to please this concept in “I Sing the Body Electric,” which ends by equating a catalogue of items to this concept. The speaker claims to “loafe and invite” this concept in “Song of Myself.” Another poem claims that this concept “shuts the Door to her divine Majority” and “selects her own Society.” For 10 points, Emily Dickinson wrote that “hope is the thing with feathers that perches in” what concept? ■END■
