Dickinson, Emily: Nevezd meg -- a Szépség apad, 1700 ((To tell the Beauty would decrease) Magyar nyelven)

To tell the Beauty would decrease
To state the Spell demean —
There is a syllable-less Sea
Of which it is the sign —
My will endeavors for its word
And fails, but entertains
A Rapture as of Legacies —
Of introspective Mines —

One study (https://shenandoahliterary.org/blog/2017/10/to-tell-the-beauty-would-decrease/) starts with the following words:

(...) If Emily Dickinson’s opening lines prove bewildering, the rest of her poem offers little clarity. She writes in metaphor- but, more significantly, in mystery. Though this piece is a mere eight lines, it is hard to digest quickly. Dickinson’s esoteric language demands a reader who will “endeavor for its word.” Perhaps it is hardly surprising that a woman who interacted with the world as if from behind a veil for most of her self-contained life would leave behind such an amorphous legacy. But, on the other hand, perhaps if she spoke plainly “the Beauty would decrease.”

Nevezd meg -- a Szépség apad,
A Bűbájt nem leled --
Van egy szótagtalan Tenger,
Az hordja, mint jegyet --
Küzdök hiába e szóért --
Cserébe id'adják
Örökségüket, a Mámort --
Introspektív Bányák --
