A certain slant of light

A Certain Slant of Light -Emily Dickinson

There's a certain Slant of light,
Winter Afternoons --
That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes --

Heavenly Hurt, it gives us --
We can find no scar,
But internal difference,
Where the Meanings, are --

None may teach it -- Any --
'Tis the Seal Despair --
An imperial affliction
Sent us of the Air --

When it comes, the Landscape listens --
Shadows -- hold their breath --
When it goes, 'tis like the Distance
On the look of Death --

早上出門時，把駕駛座調成適合我的位子。
I'll be driving alone for quite a while.

路上風雨交加，路燈滅了。
是一片空寂。

經過的路是黑的，前方的路也是黑的。

一路上，只有我的光，照亮來時路，也照亮了未竟之路。

我就是光，儘管只是在黑暗中那幽微之光。


我陪你走過的地方，不會再有純然的黑暗，






there'll always be a certain slant of light。
