I TOOK MY POWER IN MY HAND
von Emily Dickinson
Ich nahm meine Kraft in die Hand
Und ging an gegen die Welt
Es war nicht so viel wie David hatte
Doch ich war doppelt so keck
Ich zielte meinen Kiesel doch ich selbst
War der einzige der fiel
Lag es an Goliath zu groß er
Oder an mir zu klein?
1962
I took my power in my hand
And went against the world;
T was not so much as David had,
But I was twice as bold.
I aimed my pebble, but myself
Was all the one that fell.
Was it Goliath was too large,
Or only I too small?
