狄金森双语诗歌:濒临饥亡的人把高度意义

濒临饥亡的人把高度意义

濒临饥亡的人把高度意义

赋予食物——

遥不可及，他叹息，因此

绝望——

也因此美好——

只要进食，就能解饿，千真万确——

但也证实

一经获得

佳肴飞走，鲜美可口的——

是距离——

Undue Significance a starving man attaches

Undue Significance a starving man attaches

To Food—

Far off—He sighs—and therefore—Hopeless—

And therefore—Good—

Partaken—it relieves—indeed—

But proves us

That Spices fly

In the Receipt—It was the Distance—

Was Savory—
