我为美殉身　◎艾蜜莉・狄金生 Emily Dickinson（译者：董恒秀、赖杰威）

⠀

我为美殉身——在墓中

刚适应不久

便有——为真理殉身者，

被停放在邻室——

⠀

他轻轻地问我「为何阵亡」？

「为美」，我回答——

「而我是为真理——美和真理原一体

那我们是兄弟」，他说——

⠀

所以，如同亲人相见在一个晚上

我们隔墻交谈——

直到青苔长到我们唇上——

且淹没了我们的名字——

⠀

⠀

#449 ◎ Emily Dickinson

I died for Beauty - but was scarce

Adjusted in the Tomb

When One who died for Truth, was lain

In an adjoining Room -

⠀

He questioned softly“why I failed”?

“For Beauty”, I replied -

“And I - for Truth - Themself are One

We Brethren, are”, He said -

⠀

And so, as Kinsmen, met a Night -

We talked between the Rooms -

Until the Moss had reached our lips -

And covered up - our names -

萧邦 夜曲
