Эмили Э. Дикинсон. Эфирный малый капор
Голова создания —
В деле гибких шляпок
Бога проницание —
Быстро улетучилась
Словно не была —
Драма одуванчика
В соплодье умерла.
1501
Its little Ether Hood
Doth sit upon its Head —
The millinery supple
Of the sagacious God —
Till when it slip away
A nothing at a time —
And Dandelion's Drama
Expires in a stem.
Emily Dickinson
Emily describes the Dandelion in the last stages of its growth. Its spirit-like hood of white particles slips away ‘a nothing at a time’ and the ‘Drama’ or life of this dandelion is over. But, although Emily does not mention this, the ‘nothings’ are the seeds of new life. Perhaps ‘the sagacious God’ has so arranged things that we likewise‘expire’ into new life.
