Эмили Дикинсон - Укрылась я в цветке моём
Эмили Дикинсон
Укрылась я в цветке моём
Укрылась я – в цветке моём,
Что сохнет в Вазе вашей –
И вы – в неведеньи – о мне –
Почти – не одиноки –
* * *
Emily Dickinson
I hide myself within my flower
I hide myself – within my flower,
That fading from your Vase –
You – unsuspecting – feel for me –
Almost – a loneliness –
1859
Franklin Variorum 1998 – F80C
* * *
The subject of the poem, the ‘You’, knows that flowers fade and will
be tossed out, but she doesn’t know there is a real consciousness
hidden there that will be tossed out as well. Yet subconsciously she
will become aware of an alteration, a withdrawing of the speaker, and
feels ‘Almost – a loneliness –’. That ‘Almost’ is a heartbreaker.
