Denial is the only fact by Emily Dickinson

"Разрыв" - единственный лишь факт
отвергнутым прочесть,
чью волю - смысл оцепенит
в день рухнувших небес...

И всей Земле гнать общий круг -
без света, без луча...
Чем мудр был тот покой, настав -
наш дом его лиша?



(Эмили - отвергнувшей её Сью.)
[David Preest:
Emily is perhaps describing her rejection by Sue.
It fills her life. Her own will and wishes had no
effect on the day when Sue rejected her and ‘the Heaven died’
and Earth’s ‘common round [was] without Delight.’
It was no comfort to Emily that Sue said that breaking up
their ‘Home’ or relationship was the wise thing to do.]

Denial -- is the only fact by Emily Dickinson

Denial -- is the only fact               
Perceived by the Denied --               
Whose Will -- a numb significance --       
The Day the Heaven died --               

And all the Earth strove common round --   
Without Delight, or Beam --               
What Comfort was it Wisdom -- was --
