Either the one that says, "I'm nobody; who are you!?"
Or the poem "Because I could not stop for death!.!.!."

Exaltation Is the Going-

Exultation is the going
Of an inland soul to sea,
Past the houses-past the headlands-
Into deep Eternity-

Bred as we, among the mountains,
Can the sailor understand
The divine intoxication
Of the first league out from land!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
