《夏之逃逸》（艾米莉·狄金森作，余光中译） 不知不觉地，有如忧伤， 夏日竟然消逝了， 如此地难以觉察，简直 不像是有意潜逃。 向晚的微光很早便开始， 沉淀出一片寂静， 不然便是消瘦的四野 将下午深深幽禁。 黄昏比往日来得更早， 清晨的光彩已陌生—— 一种拘礼而恼人的风度， 像即欲离开的客人。 就像如此，也不用翅膀， 也不劳小舟相送， 我们的夏日轻逸地逃去， 没入了美的境中。 As imperceptibly as Grief The Summer lapsed away- Too imperceptible at last To seem like Perfidy- A Quietness distilled As Twilight long begun, Or Nature spending with herself Sequestered Afternoon- The Dusk drew earlier in- The Morning foreign shone- A courteous,yet harrowing Grace, As Guest,that would be gone- And thus,without a Wing Or service of a Keel Our Summer made her light escape Into the Beautiful.
