狄金森双语诗歌:他摸索你的灵魂

他摸索你的灵魂

他摸索你的灵魂

像乐师抚摸琴键

然后奏响完整的乐章——

他逐渐让你惊叹——

为你脆弱的天性做好防备

迎接超凡的一击

以音槌轻轻击打——

由远及近，徐徐而来

等你的呼吸得到平复——

头脑慢慢冷静——

再向你施以威严的霹雳——

把你裸露的灵魂剥去外皮——

当风的巨手摇撼森林——

宇宙寂然无声——

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—
