This poem brings me straight to the end of chapter 27, “The Soul selects her own Society — Then — shuts the Door — To her divine Majority — Present no more –”After reading the first part of this poem, it reminds me of when Jane refuses to marry Mr. Rochester and move away with him. She then dreams that night of her mother telling her to not break her temptation, and leaves Thornfield on the spot, not knowing what her future has in store. This seems to happen to Jane many times in the story, she ends up going somewhere, shuts the door in which she gets comfortable then something unfortunate has to happen and she is forced to leave- Present no more. Another example from this poem is “An emperor be kneeling upon her mat” after reading this part, Mr. Rochester Jumped in my head, when he confessed his love to Jane. The rest of the poem is another reenactment of when Jane leaves the “ample nation” (Thornfield) and closed the valves of her attention like stone. Once Jane leaves Thornfield and ends up with St. John, she closes the valves and does not think about what and who she left behind at Thornfield.
