У ветра с юга - пылкость

У ветра с юга - пылкость
в характере речей -
по звуку знает гавань
пришлец откуда, чей.

Намёк на путь, на встречи,
всю путаную тьму,
ясней - по чужестранству,
по чуждости ему.





[David Preest:
Emily was a girl of the north (see poem 442 and notes)
and it was the southern latitudes that were foreign
and exotic to her (see such poems as 180 and 697).
So a South Wind actually arriving at Amherst had
the pathos of the strange individual voice of an Emigrant
landing in one’s country, but, like the wind, all the more
attractive for being foreign and from afar.]

************************************
A South Wind -- has a pathos by Emily Dickinson

A South Wind -- has a pathos
Of individual Voice --
As One detect on Landings
An Emigrant's address.

A Hint of Ports and Peoples --
And much not understood --
The fairer -- for the farness --
And for the foreignhood.
