Эмили Дикинсон. Я силу собрала в кулак

540


Я силу собрала в кулак
И с миром в бой пошла.
Давид – передо мной гигант,
Но я вдвойне смела.

Направлен камень. Почему ж
Лежу я на земле?
Боюсь, не Голиаф могуч,
Все дело в крошке мне.



I took my Power in my Hand —
And went against the World —
'Twas not so much as David — had —
But I — was twice as bold —

I aimed by Pebble — but Myself
Was all the one that fell —
Was it Goliath — was too large —
Or was myself — too small?
