狄金森詩選(精裝版)（簡體書）

作為世界上影響大、擁有讀者和學者多的女詩人，牢固確立其在美國文學上的重大獨創性貢獻。她被人們譽為公元前7世紀古希臘薩福以來西方杰出的女詩人。有人就駕馭英語的能力而言，甚至把她和莎士比亞相提並論。賞讀狄金森的詩歌，會被其近乎“婉約”的藝術氣質所吸引。她的詩歌傾向於微觀、內省，表現出對傳統規範不馴的叛逆姿態。詩風堅持真實，“真與美是一體”。她愛過，她被愛過，她抱過希望，也嘗品過愛的甜蜜和辛酸。她愛過，她被愛過，她抱過希望，也嘗味過絕望。在其所寫的1775首詩中，不乏“愛”、“愛與某人”、“所愛”和“愛人”的詩篇；她寫愛的萌動，愛的燃燒，愛的消失，有甜而不膩的喜悅，熾烈而蘊藉的吐露，苦而不酸的沉痛，綿綿難絕的長恨。愛，是她詩歌題材的重心，寫來清新、別致。

狄金森（1830—1886），美國詩人，與同時代的惠特曼一同被奉為美國偉大的詩人。詩風凝練、比喻尖新，常置格律、語法於不顧，被譽為“現代主義的先驅”。

穿過小徑，穿過荊棘 穿過小徑，穿過荊棘 — 穿過叢林和林間空地 — 在寂靜的路上，綠林好漢常在我們身邊來去。鴟梟迷惑不解地俯視 — 豺狼好奇得目不轉睛 — 蛇的綢緞般身軀在一旁悄悄滑行 — 暴風雨觸摸我們的衣裳 — 雷電揚起閃的利劍 — 饑餓的兀鷹在巉巖發出兇猛的嘶喊 — 山林神以手指相召 — 幽谷傳來朦朧的呼喚“回來啊” — 這些就是那些伙伴 —  這條就是那條路孩子們急忙回家。Through lane it lay - through bramble -Through clearing and through wood -Banditti often passed usUpon the lonely road.The wolf came peering curious -The owl looked puzzled down -The serpent's satin figureGlid stealthily along-The tempests touched our garments -The lightning's poinards gleamed-Fierce from the Crag above usThe hungry Vulture screamed-The satyr's fingers beckoned-The valley murmured “Come" -These were the mates –This was the roadThese children fluttered home.1858 1924成功的滋味甜   成功的滋味甜 — 從未成功者認為。有急切的渴求，才能品出蜜的甘美。今日執掌大旗的袞袞諸公隊列裡沒有人能像他那樣真切道出勝利的真諦 — 他，戰敗，垂死 — 失聰的耳邊突然響起遙遠的凱歌旋律痛苦而清晰。Success is counted sweetestBy those who ne'er succeed.To comprehend a nectarRequires sorest need.Not one of all the purple HostWho took the Flag todayCan tell the definitionSo clear of VictoryAs he defeated - dying -On whose forbidden earThe distant strains of triumphBurst agonized and clear!c. 1859 1878上天堂去  上天堂去!我不知道什麼時候 — 請不要問我為什麼!我確實感到驚訝想不出怎樣回答!上天堂去!聽起來多麼難受!然而一定會做到就象羊群在夜晚一定回到牧羊人的懷抱!也許你也在前往!誰知道呢?如果你先到了只須給我留一點空地靠近我那兩個失去的 — 小的“袍子”就合我的身有一小頂“冠冕”也就可以 — 因為你知道，我們回家對於穿戴，從不介意 — 我高興我不相信因為相信會使我停止呼吸 — 我還要再看一看這奇妙的大地!我高興他們確實相信自從那個壯麗的秋季午後我送他們入土的時辰我再也沒有看見他們。Going to Heaven!I don't know when-Pray do not ask me how!Indeed I'm too astonishedTo think of answering you!Going to Heaven!How dim It sounds!And yet it will be doneAs sure as flocks go home at nightUnto the Shepherd's arm!Perhaps you're going too!Who knows?If you should get there firstSave just a little space for meClose to the two I lost -The smallest "Robe" will fit meAnd just a bit of "Crown" -For you know we do not mind our dressWhen we are going home –I'm glad I don't believe itFor it would stop my breath -And I'd like to look a little moreAt such a curious Earth!I'm glad they did believe itWhom I have never foundSince the mighty Autumn afternoonI left them in the ground.
