My Life had stood -- a Loaded Gun --
In Corners -- till a Day
The Owner passed -- identified --
And carried Me away --
And now We roam in Sovereign Woods --
And now We hunt the Doe --
And every time I speak for Him --
The Mountains straight reply --
And do I smile, such cordial light
Upon the Valley glow --
It is as a Vesuvian face
Had let its pleasure through --
And when at Night -- Our good Day done --
I guard My Master's Head --
'Tis better than the Eider-Duck's
Deep Pillow -- to have shared --
To foe of His -- I'm deadly foe --
None stir the second time --
On whom I lay a Yellow Eye --
Or an emphatic Thumb --
Though I than He -- may longer live
He longer must -- than I --
For I have but the power to kill,
Without -- the power to die --
Emily Dickinson - My Life had stood -- a Loaded Gun -- (754)

這首詩我覺得蠻奧妙且真切的
因為就連題目我就不懂 @@
是說她的生活就像是處於上膛的槍，如此的緊迫嗎
至於裡面的詩句，我也不太能理解，
是不是說自己是某主人的手下，有時可以有權力去獵殺其他東西
但自己卻沒有辦法掌握自己的生命
======
不了解
第三段為何要用 Valley 跟 a Vesuvian face
來講到 I smile, such cordial light
第四段的 Master's Head 跟 Eider-Duck's
與 Deep Pillow 有神麼關係 @@
第五段我簡直看不懂 @@
有板友能為這首詩作一個通盤的賞析嗎 多謝 @@
