In the last stanza the lines "I've known her from an ample nation/ Choose One--/Then close the valves of her attention/like stone" indicate that she chooses to remain in "her own society" -she was the "One" whose company she preferred to that of emperors. She seemed to be content with her life as a recluse, but a closer reading of her poetry reveals insecurities that were masked by her private demeanor. She .....
