I found the phrase to every thought
I ever had, but one;
And that defies me, —as a hand
Did try to chalk the sun
To races nurtured in the dark; —
How would your own begin?
Can blaze be done in cochineal,
Or noon in mazarin?
我为我产生的每个思想
找到了描述的词汇,但是它只有一个;
可它却不能把我所有的意思传达,——就像手
想要把太阳描画
给黑暗中长大的人一样;——
你会怎么做?
可以从胭脂中烧出烈焰么,
或者从深蓝中画出晌午?
