我啜饮过生活的芳醇
付出了什么,告诉你吧
不多不少,整整一生
他们说,这是市价。
他们称了我的分量
锱铢比计,毫厘不爽,
然后给了我我的生命所值
一滴,幸福的琼浆!

I took one Draught of Life (1725)
by Emily Dickinson
I took one Draught of Life
I'll tell you what I paid
Precisely an existence
The market price, they said.
They weighed me, Dust by Dust
They balanced Film with Film,
Then handed me my Being's worth
A single Dram of Heaven!
