狄金森雙語詩歌:靈魂選擇她自己的侶伴

靈魂選擇她自己的侶伴

靈魂選擇她自己的侶伴——

然后，關(guān)上門——

忠于內(nèi)心神圣的選擇——

不再拋頭露面——

不為所動，她看見車輦，停在——

她低矮的門前——

不為所動，即使君王拜倒在

她的石榴裙邊——

我了解她，于茫茫人海中——

選擇了唯一——

從此心無雜念——

堅如磐石——

The Soul selects her own Society

The Soul selects her own Society—

Then—shuts the Door—

To her divine Majority—

Present no more—

Unmoved—she notes the Chariots—pausing—

At her low Gate—

Unmoved—an Emperor be kneeling

Upon her Mat—

I’ve known her—from an ample nation—

Choose One—

Then—close the Valves of her attention—

Like Stone—
