Тем безотчётностью - живым

Тем безотчётностью - живым
всечасен их посыл -
чужды - наречием датчан
всем прочим, кто застыл.

Стоп безотчётность слух ли чей
тревожа, впечатлит -
восточной Тысячью ночей
всех прочих изумит...



(Эмили - о своих стихах.)
[David Preest:
Emily is perhaps describing her own poems. To those
who are quick of understanding the subjects of her
poems continually have meaning, though they are as
foreign as Danish to everybody else. The measures
of her poems are a stimulus to the receptive ear,
but to others are something as fabulous and unreal
as an ‘Oriental Tale’ from The Arabian Nights.
‘Reportless,’ as in poem 1382, means ‘of which it
is difficult to give a cut and dried account.’]

Reportless Subjects, to the Quick by Emily Dickinson

Reportless Subjects, to the Quick
Continual addressed --
But foreign as the Dialect
Of Danes, unto the rest.

Reportless Measures, to the Ear
Susceptive -- stimulus --
But like an Oriental Tale
To others, fabulous --
