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 –
你遗留给我,阁下,两笔财富--
一笔是爱的财富
倘若天父得此
他必定一样满足
你留给我痛苦的边际--
好像海洋一般宽阔--
在永恒与瞬时之间--
你的知觉--和我--
