Трагичен, ярок Славы Нимб,
на миг велича знаком Власти -
в пыл имя вняв незнавшим Солнца свет,
вернёт забвенью с тёплой лаской...
(О славе - Бога, и земной.)
[David Preest:
‘Glory’ is perhaps the same as the ‘waylaying light’
of poem 1581. An experience of the grace of God can warm
for an instant the poorest heart and give a feeling of
‘Dominion.’ But such glory is fleeting and soon puts
the recipient back in forgetfulness of itself.]

Glory is that bright tragic thing by Emily Dickinson
Glory is that bright tragic thing
That for an instant Means Dominion --
Warms some poor name That never felt the Sun,
Gently replacing In oblivion --
Glory is that bright tragic thing by Emily Dickins
