Two Were Immortal Twice
poem 800
Two Were Immortal Twice - meaning Summary
Eternity Experienced in Life
The poem reflects on a rare condition in which two people achieve a kind of doubled immortality: they attain eternity while living and again beyond life. This attainment is framed as a reversed divinity that only a few possess. Dickinson then notes that ordinary human perception constructs the idea of paradise by comparison, implying that our sense of the sublime depends on relative experience rather than absolute knowledge.
