What does this mean?

Question

The Crystal Gazer

I shall gather myself into my self again,
I shall take my scattered selves and make them one.
I shall fuse them into a polished crystal ball
Where I can see the moon and the flashing sun.
I Shall sit like a sibyl, hour after hour intent.
Watching the future come and the present go -
And the little shifting pictures of people rushing
In tiny self-importance to and fro.

- Sara Teasdale

Answer 1

I believe she finds comfort in escaping reality mayhaps like an ancient opium eater, only using her perticular "drug", the crystal ball. I doing so, she sees and realizes the importance of being yourself in spirit, not selfish and thinking of yourself and being greedy, so to speak. Material things have no importance in this world. I have never seen a luggage rack on a Hearse. The spirit of nature and universe and how you treat others is what matters.

Answer 2

she feels destroyed (by something) but also feels there is still hope for the future--starting over and getting it together.
