“The meeting of two such souls Donne describes as giving birth to an "abler soul.”

Fuller, Margaret. Woman in the Nineteenth Century. New York: Greeley & McElrath, 1845.

Inferred Reference to 'abler soul' born from meeting of two souls — this phrase appears in Donne's poem 'The Ecstasy'. Fuller explicitly names 'Donne' and the phrase 'abler soul' from 'The Ecstasy': 'this dialogue of one, / So, betwixt us both we grow an abler soul.'
