Из Эмили Дикинсон. 540. I took my Power
540
Решила мир завоевать,
Сказав себе – сумей!
Пусть не сильна я как Давид,
Но я – куда смелей!
В бою я пала – мне праща,
Увы, не помогла.
Не знаю – Голиаф велик,
А может – я мала?
540
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?
