[温暖的水獸]

Poem text of This was a Poet — It is That by Emily Dickinson


This was a Poet — It is That
Distills amazing sense
From ordinary Meanings —
And Attar so immense

From the familiar species
That perished by the Door —
We wonder it was not Ourselves
Arrested it — before —

Of Pictures, the Discloser —
The Poet — it is He —
Entitles Us — by Contrast —
To ceaseless Poverty —

Of portion — so unconscious —
The Robbing — could not harm —
Himself — to Him — a Fortune —
Exterior — to Time —


Chinese Translation

曾有位詩人 — 他能夠
淬煉令人驚奇的感受
從平凡的意義 —
得到芳香的玫瑰油

從尋常的品種
那種沒人理會而腐朽於門邊 —
我們怎麼能夠
注意到它 — 在此之前 —

這些景象，而揭謎者 —
詩人 — 只有他 —
讓我們得知 — 藉著對比 —
自己無止盡的匱乏

這成份 — 如此不自覺 —
縱使被強奪 — 並不能傷害 —
他 — 對他而言 — 是種財富 —
存在於 — 時間之外 —


Note:

My Chinese translation of Dickinson's poem is my thank to Anna, 星子, Christine, and ericcoliu for their heated, civilized, heart-to-heart, rhetorically contentious discussions (posted at http://coviews.com/viewtopic.php?t=39000 ) about being a good writer and an attentive reader (in ericcoliu's didactic view, all of us should be both of a good writer and an attentive reader). Let's now begin Negotiating with the Dead (ericcoliu claimed that this is a good book on writing and everyone should read this book before he/she posts anything on this forum) and be an attentive and demanding reader (this is the instruction from Teacher ericcoliu).
