痛苦的秘密

痛苦的秘密

痛苦的秘密

艾米莉·狄金森

坐忘译

痛苦有种“空白”元素；

它不能追忆起点，

或者询问终点。

全无未来，唯有自身。

它无垠的国度里容纳它的过往，

它们被开蒙去感知新一程的痛苦……

The Mystery of Pain

Emily Dickinson

Pain has an element of blank;

It cannot recollect

When it began, or if there were

A day when it was not.

It has no future but itself,

Its infinite realms contain

Its past, enlightened to perceive

New periods of pain.
