狄金森雙語詩歌:他摸索你的靈魂

他摸索你的靈魂

他摸索你的靈魂

像樂師撫摸琴鍵

然后奏響完整的樂章——

他逐漸讓你驚嘆——

為你脆弱的天性做好防備

迎接超凡的一擊

以音槌輕輕擊打——

由遠及近，徐徐而來

等你的呼吸得到平復——

頭腦慢慢冷靜——

再向你施以威嚴的霹靂——

把你裸露的靈魂剝?nèi)ネ馄ぁ?/p>

當風的巨手搖撼森林——

宇宙寂然無聲——

He fumbles at your Soul

He fumbles at your Soul

As Players at the Keys

Before they drop full Music on—

He stuns you by degrees—

Prepares your brittle Nature

For the Ethereal Blow

By fainter Hammers—further heard—

Then nearer—Then so slow

Your Breath has time to straighten—

Your Brain—to bubble Cool—

Deals—One—imperial—Thunderbolt—

That scalps your naked Soul—

When Winds take Forests in their Paws—

The Universe—is still—
