“I am immortal! I know it! I feel it!
Hope floods my heart with delight!”

—  Margaret Fuller

Dryad Song (1900)
Context: I am immortal! I know it! I feel it!
Hope floods my heart with delight!
Running on air mad with life dizzy, reeling,
Upward I mount, — faith is sight, life is feeling,
Hope is the day-star of might!
