Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (Эмили Дикинсон)

The Blue Jay

No brigadier throughout the year
So civic as the jay.
A neighbor and a warrior too,
With shrill felicity

Pursuing winds that censure us
A February day,
The brother of the universe
Was never blown away.

The snow and he are intimate;
I 've often seen them play
When heaven looked upon us all
With such severity,

I felt apology were due
To an insulted sky,
Whose pompous frown was nutriment
To their temerity.

The pillow of this daring head
Is pungent evergreens;
His larder -- terse and militant --
Unknown, refreshing things;

His character a tonic,
His future a dispute;
Unfair an immortality
That leaves this neighbor out.

1. I Know a Place Where Summer Strives
2. Unto My Books So Good to Turn
3. Pompless No Life Can Pass Away
4. Going
5. Contrast

David Lawrence (Дэвид Лоуренс) The Blue Jay ("The blue jay with a crest on his head")
