Wild Nights / Noites Loucas – Emily Dickinson Maio 15, 2008

Wild Nights – Wild Nights!
Were I with thee
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile – the Winds –
To a Heart in port –
Done with the Compass –
Done with the Chart!

Rowing in Eden –
Ah, the Sea!
Might I but moor – Tonight –
In Thee!

(em português)

Noites Loucas — Noites Loucas!
Estivesse eu contigo
Noites Loucas seriam
Nosso luxuoso abrigo!

Para Coração em porto —
Ventos — são coisas fúteis —
Bússolas — dispensáveis —
Portulanos — inúteis!

Navegando em pleno Éden —
Ah, o Mar!
Quem dera — esta Noite — em Ti
Ancorar!

We learned the Whole of Love – Emily Dickinson Dezembro 10, 2007

Bookstore – from here

We learned the Whole of Love —
The Alphabet — the Words —
A Chapter — then the mighty Book —
Then — Revelation closed —

But in Each Other’s eyes
An Ignorance beheld —
Diviner than the Childhood’s —
And each to each, a Child —

Attempted to expound
What Neither — understood —
Alas, that Wisdom is so large —
And Truth — so manifold!

This Is My Letter To The World – Emily Dickinson Maio 15, 2007

This is my letter to the world,
That never wrote to me,
The simple news that Nature told,
With tender majesty.

Her message is committed
To hands I cannot see;
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me!

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (b. on Dec 10, 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts, USA; d. May 15, 1886 in Amherst, Massachusetts, USA)
