Quote
"Give little Anguish
Lives Will fret - Give Avalanches
,
And They'll slant,
Straighten - look for Cautious Their breath - make
Goal No. syllable, like Death - Who
history shows Granite only face - Enhance
thing - than Speech - "
translation
" Inflict them about Torment,
Lives fret - Inflict them
Avalanche,
They bend, straighten
- seek their breath with caution - but without
syllable as Death -
merely show his face in Granite -
Sublime gesture - the Word - "
Emily Dickinson, A filament core notebooks of poems 1861-1863, translated and introduced by Claire Malroux, José Corti, 1998.
