灵魂选择自己的伴侣—
然后,把门紧闭—
她神圣的决定—
再不容干预—
发现车辇停在她低矮的门前—
不为所动—
一位皇帝跪在她的席垫—
不为所动—
我知道她,从人口众多的整个民族—
选中了一个—
从此,封闭关心的阀门—
象块石头—
The Soul Selects Her Own Society
The Soul selects her own Society-
Then-shuts the Door-
To her divine Majority-
Present no more-
Unmoved-she notes the Chariots-pausing-
At her low Gate-
Unmoved-an Emperor be kneeling-
Upon her Mat-
I’ve known her-from an ample nation-
Choose One-
Then-close the Valves of her attention-
Like Stone-
Emily Dickinson
