Эмили Э. Дикинсон. Когда не станет Астроном
Когда не станет Астроном
Глядеть на Небосвод —
И Англичанка* отзовет
Арктический поход,
Когда по Компасу Моряк
Путь держит неизменно —
То слишком рано вопpошать
Что есть — измена.
851
When the Astronomer stops seeking
For his Pleiad's Face –
When the lone British Lady
Forsakes the Arctic Race
When to his Convenant Needle
The Sailor doubting turns –
It will be amply early
To ask what treason means.
Emily Dickinson
Примечание переводчика:
*Lady Franklin was seeking in 1848-1860 for her husband lost in Arctics.
Born in England in 1791, Jane married Arctic explorer John Franklin in her late twenties. In 1836, she accompanied him to Van Diemen's Land, when he was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of the colony.
