Emily Dickinson
If I hadn't seen the sun
I can stand shadows.
But to light up a new wilderness
My wilderness has created—
Chinese translation (1)
I could have put up with the darkness
If I hadn't seen the sun
However, the sunshine makes me desolate.
If I have never seen the sun, I will become a new desolation.
I can stand the darkness;
But now, the sun has put my loneliness
Shine more desolate
