ROUGE GAGNE

ROUGE GAGNE

'T is so much joy! 'T is so much joy!
If I should fail, what poverty!
And yet, as poor as I
Have ventured all upon a throw;
Have gained! Yes! Hesitated so
This side the victory!

Life is but life, and death but death!
Bliss is but bliss, and breath but breath!
And if, indeed, I fail,
At least to know the worst is sweet.
Defeat means nothing but defeat,
No drearier can prevail!

And if I gain, -- oh, gun at sea,
Oh, bells that in the steeples be,
At first repeat it slow!
For heaven is a different thing
Conjectured, and waked sudden in,
And might o'erwhelm me so!

埃米麗·迪金森：

美國女詩人埃米麗·迪金森的自然觀與她的社會、家庭以及個人閲歷有着極其密切的聯繫。她詩歌中所描繪的自然既反映出愛默生的超驗主義思想 ,又不時地唱出與清教主義旋律相近的曲調。她熱愛大自然 ,但又夾雜着疑惑和恐懼。她的複雜的心理因素構成了她的複雜的自然觀。
