Эмили Дикинсон. Сомненье - это с нами?..

Едва ли сам наш Дух
При нестерпимой боли
Острейших мук Ума
Способствует опоре.

Из Нереальности он взят,
Как милости Мираж,
И делает возможной жизнь,
Путь завершая наш.

1. Стихотворение было написано в начале 1865 годa.

2. "In extreme anguish the possibility that it might not be us suffering enables us to go on living while the possibility, as it were, suspends [our] lives".
David Preest

3. "This poem is a fine example of Emily Dickinson's talent for metaphysical observation, adroitly compressed into eight lines.
An honest and thorough analysis of what we think we know reveals an uncertainty at the heart of knowing. Certainty is the 'footing,' the 'merciful Mirage' which delivers us from 'an extremer Anguish' experienced in the throes of uncertainty. Dickinson's masterful sense of irony concludes that self-deception, 'An Unreality . . . lent,' allows us to overcome the anguish of uncertainty in order to live a stable life -- but in accepting self-deception as the way to stability and security, we merely 'suspend' embracing truth until 'A Doubt,' as it must, returns to reveal the lie of certainty. An evocation of an universal human experience as only the genius of Emily Dickinson could create it".
