Тот первый, дорогая, День,
Когда ты оценила
Мои возможности, признав,
Что нарастает сила —
Был драгоценен для трудов,
Сверкнувших до него —
Дав новым — путь безбрежнее —
Мира самого.
659
That first Day, when you praised Me, Sweet,
And said that I was strong —
And could be mighty, if I liked —
That Day — the Days among —
Glows Central — like a Jewel
Between Diverging Golds —
The Minor One — that gleamed behind —
And Vaster — of the World’s.
Emily Dickinson
