A Spider sewed at Night
Without a Light
Upon an Arc of White.
If Ruff it was of Dame
Or Shroud of Gnome
Himself himself inform.
Of Immortality
His Strategy
Was Physiognomy.
蜘蛛艺术家
艾米莉·狄金森
蜘蛛艺术家,
从未被雇用——
尽管低估他,
本领之出众。
扫妇与斋厨,
圣者国土上——
皆将天才忽,
唯我手中仗——
The Spider as an Artist
By Emily Dickinson
The Spider as an Artist
Has never been employed --
Though his surpassing Merit
Is freely certified
By every Broom and Bridget
Throughout a Christian Land --
Neglected Son of Genius
I take thee by the Hand --
有时用心
艾米莉·狄金森
有时用心
稀用灵魂
难倾一次巨力
罕——爱何存!
Sometimes with the Heart
By Emily Dickinson
Sometimes with the Heart (1 ... ...,)
Seldom with the Soul (2 ... ...,)
Scarcer once with the Might (3 罕见极端,)
Few -- love at all. (4 ... ...,至于爱心,嗯 ... ... 濒于殆尽。 )
