You left me – Sire – two Legacies – (713)
BY EMILY DICKINSON
You left me – Sire – two Legacies –
A Legacy of Love
A Heavenly Father would suffice
Had He the offer of –
You left me Boundaries of Pain –
Capacious as the Sea –
Between Eternity and Time –
Your Consciousness – and me –
你遺留給我,閣下,兩筆財富--
一筆是愛的財富
倘若天父得此
他必定一樣滿足
你留給我痛苦的邊際--
好像海洋一般寬闊--
在永恒與瞬時之間--
你的知覺--和我--
