假狮子

(Emily Dickinson, translated by Viv)

“自然”即所见

“自然”即所见——
山丘——午后——
松鼠——日月蚀——蜂王——
不——自然是天堂——
自然即所闻——
刺歌雀——海洋——
雷电——蛐蛐——
不——自然是和谐——
自然即所知——
艺术却不能表达——
人类智慧再伟大
却比不上自然的简单。

"Nature" is what we see

"Nature" is what we see—
The Hill—the Afternoon—
Squirrel—Eclipse— the Bumble bee—
Nay—Nature is Heaven—
Nature is what we hear—
The Bobolink—the Sea—
Thunder—the Cricket—
Nay—Natureis Harmony—
Nature is what we know—
Yet have no art to say—
So impotent Our Wisdom is
To her Simplicity.
