Superiority to Fate
Is difficult to gain
‘Tis not conferred of any
But possible to earn

A pittance at a time
Until to Her surprise
The Soul with strict economy
Subsist till Paradise.

—Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), #1043 (Franklin)

I had gotten the inspiration for that ‘Wooo’ from gospel singer Marion Williams.
