Dickinson, Emily: (Keblére gyöngyöt! ám) (Her breast is fit for pearls, 84 in Hungarian)

Portre of Dickinson, Emily
Portre of Israel Efraim

Back to the translator

Her breast is fit for pearls, 84 (English)

Her breast is fit for pearls,
But I was not a "Diver" —
Her brow is fit for thrones
But I have not a crest.
Her heart is fit for home —
I — a Sparrow — build there
Sweet of twigs and twine
My perennial nest.

(Keblére gyöngyöt! ám) (Hungarian)

Keblére gyöngyöt! ám
Nem voltam „Gyöngyhalász” én —
Fejére koronát!
De tőlem nem vehet.
Szívének szép szobát! —
Én — Veréb — ott rakom
Végleges fészkemet.
   
  
  
(A vers 1859-ben keletkezett.)
