No Rack can torture me - My Soul - at Liberty - Behind this mortal Bone There knits a bolder One - You cannot prick with saw - Nor pierce with Scimitar - Two Bodies - therefore be - Bind One - The Other fly - The Eagle of his Nest No easier divest - And gain the Sky Than mayest Thou - Except Thyself may be Thine Enemy - Captivity is Consciousness - So's Liberty. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO IMAGINATION (2) by EMILY JANE BRONTE SEA GODS: 2 by HILDA DOOLITTLE ODE TO ETHIOPIA by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR AT CASTERBRIDGE FAIR: 5.
