The Soul unto itself <br />Is an imperial friend -- <br />Or the most agonizing Spy -- <br />An Enemy -- could send -- <br /> <br />Secure against its own -- <br />No treason it can fear -- <br />Itself -- its Sovereign -- of itself <br />The Soul should stand in Awe --<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-soul-unto-itself-683/
