WATER is taught by thirst 渴时水如蜜

WATER is taught by thirst
by Emily Dickinson


WATER is taught by thirst;  
Land, by the oceans passed;  
Transport, by throe;  
Peace, by its battles told;  
Love, by memorial mould;            5
Birds, by the snow.


渴时水如蜜
艾米莉。狄金森
云天译

渴时水如蜜,
海行思陆径,
悲苦生狂喜,
战后惜和平,
冢前爱来迟,
雪天念鸟鸣。


干渴难耐才知水的意义
艾米莉。狄金森
云天译

干渴难耐才知水的意义；
漂泊汪洋才会渴望陆地；
至痛至悲才会喜不自胜；
遭逢战乱才知珍惜和平；
阴阳两隔才懂爱的深意；
冬雪茫茫才会思念鸟啼。
