Эм. Дикинсон. How know it from a Summer s Day?

Мне с летним днем её  сравнить ?
Пыл также стоек в ней —
Нет нового  в обличии
И только  зной  сильней—
Исчезли птицы, всё узнав, —
Их крылья без имён,
Как указанье получив
До будущих времён—


1364

How know it from a Summer's Day?
Its Fervors are as firm—
And nothing in the Countenance
But scintillates the same—
Yet Birds examine it and flee—
And Vans without a name
Inspect the Admonition
And sunder as they came—
            Emily Dickinson



Emily Dickinson's poem "How know it from a Summer's Day?" discusses how the poem compares an Indian Summer day to a normal summer day, noting that while they appear the same to humans, birds see the Indian Summer day as a sign ("Admonition") to depart and fly away separately, as summer is coming to an end.

The analysis was written by David Preest and provides background on when Dickinson sent the poem to Mrs. Higginson, likely during an Indian Summer in 1876.
