One Crucifixion is recorded only by Emily Dickinso

Один лишь крест отмечен, да и только...
Каким ни быть -
науке ль былей, цифр науке ль
не закрепить...

Одна Голгофа явлена Пришельцу,-
где много их,-
людей - иль мысов - Гефсиманий -
уделов, лих...

Всего лишь захолустье - наших центров -
Иерусалим,
путём крестовым - иль походом -
столь достижим...

Хоть снёс Господь наш - истинно - дополнив
ту Весть,
но ближе - и свежей распятье 
вот здесь...




(Эмили - о Распятье Христа
и нашем собственном, каждого и каждодневном.)
[David Preest:
Only the crucifixion of Jesus took place before a crowd
of strangers and was recorded in history, but in fact there
are as many Calvaries as there are persons - or peninsulas.
We do not need to go on a crusade to Judea to find Gethsemane,
as we can find it in our own heart
(= ‘a Province - in the Being’s Centre’).
Our Lord on the cross bore witness to the fact that all life
suffers, but we all know of newer and nearer crucifixions than his.
As Emily showed in poem 225, the important thing about
the Crucifixion for her was not that Jesus thereby atoned
for our sins, but that he shared our suffering. Her view had not
changed by 1884, for in a late letter (L392) to Mrs Henry Hills
she writes, ‘When Jesus tells us about his Father, we distrust him.
When he shows us his Home, we turn away, but when he confides to us
that he is “acquainted with Grief,” we listen, for that also
is an Acquaintance of our own.’]

One Crucifixion is recorded -- only -- by Emily Dickinson

One Crucifixion is recorded -- only --         
How many be               
Is not affirmed of Mathematics --               
Or History --               

One Calvary -- exhibited to Stranger --         
As many be               
As persons -- or Peninsulas --               
Gethsemane --               

Is but a Province -- in the Being's Centre --   
Judea --               
For Journey -- or Crusade's Achieving --       
Too near --               

Our Lord -- indeed -- bore Compound Witness --
And yet --               
There's newer -- nearer Crucifixion             
Than That --
