MY Life Closed Twice before Its Close

by Emily Dickinson

MY life closed twice before its close;

It yet remains to see

If Immortality unveil

A third event to me,

So huge, so hopeless to conceive,

As these that twice befell.

Parting is all we know of heaven,

And all we need of hell.

我的生命結束前已結束過兩次

狄金森 著

江楓 譯

我的生命結束前已結束過兩次;

它還要等著看

永恒是否會向我展示

第三次事件。

象前兩次一樣重大

一樣，令人心灰望絕。

離別，是我們對天堂體驗的全部，

對地獄短缺的一切。
