How Happy Is the Little Stone 這顆小石何等幸福

——艾米莉·狄金森

How happy is the little stone

That rambles in the road alone，

And doesnt care about careers，

And exigencies never fears；

Whose coat of elemental brown

A passing universe put on；

And independent as the sun，

Associates or glows alone，

Fulfilling absolute decree

In casual simplicity.

How happy is the little stone

That rambles in the road alone，

And doesnt care about careers，

And exigencies never fears；

Whose coat of elemental brown

A passing universe put on；

And independent as the sun，

Associates or glows alone，

Fulfilling absolute decree

In casual simplicity.

艾米莉·狄金森（1830—1886），美國抒情女詩人，意象派詩歌的先驅之一，被譽為美國現代派詩歌的鼻祖。她生前寫過1700多首無標題短詩（標題為出版時后人所加，一般為原詩的首句），當時不為人知，在她死后名聲大噪。她詩風獨特，近乎婉約，以文字細膩、感情真摯、意象突出、清新自然而著稱。
