Guest am I to have by Emily Dickinson
свет под хладный свод...
Что ж к радушью моему
неохоч приход...
Узам спад иным,
ждать другим друзьям...
Что ж так жаляще щемишь,
преданность моя...
(Эмили - к Сью, обещающей,
но не бывающей в гостях у неё.)
[David Preest:
Perhaps Sue, after years of absence, has promised
to visit and bring light to Emily’s ‘northern room.’
Emily wonders why Sue has been so averse to experiencing
her ‘cordiality’ and ‘fidelity,’ especially as she only
lives a ‘narrow’ strip of land away.]

Guest am I to have by Emily Dickinson
Guest am I to have
Light my northern room
Why to cordiality
so averse to come
Other friends adjourn
Other bonds decay
Why avoid so narrowly
My fidelity --
