《在脑际,我感受到一个葬礼》
作者:艾米丽.迪金森
翻译:莫笑愚
在脑际,我感受到一个葬礼
致哀者川流不息
纷至沓来——纷至——直到
悲哀之泪盈盈欲滴——
当他们全都坐定,
葬礼,仿佛一只大鼓——
不停擂击——擂击——直到我感觉
我的心变得麻木——
然后我听见他们打开柩盒
用那些同样的铅靴,再一次,
吱呀之声穿过我的灵魂
然后这灵堂——丧钟哀泣,
因为所有的天堂是一只大钟,
而存在,是一只耳朵,
我和沉默,像某种陌生的族群,
残毁,孤独,在这儿——
然后一块理性的木板,碎了,
我薨然倒地,倒地——
用每一次跌倒撞击一个世界,
然后死去——那时,方才知悉——

附英文原文:
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain
BY EMILY DICKINSON
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading - treading - till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through -
And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum -
Kept beating - beating - till I thought
My mind was going numb -
And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space - began to toll,
As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I, and Silence, some strange Race,
Wrecked, solitary, here -
And then a Plank in Reason, broke,
And I dropped down, and down -
And hit a World, at every plunge,
And Finished knowing - then -
