做自己Triumph-Emily Dickinson-20130104

嗯,既然選擇做自己,依著所認知的公理正義行事,不愧對良心。那就得勇於承擔
可能面對的考驗與艱困。

但求當我得離開這世間之際,如有機會見到上帝,能夠坦然注視著祂,內心無有愧......
(昨晚與麻吉好友聊到的事,今天就剛好讀到Emily Dickinson的這首詩~要說是天意嗎?上
帝待我不薄) ^_^

Triumph-Emily Dickinson

Triumph may be of several kinds.
There 's triumph in the room
When that old imperator, Death,
By faith is overcome.
There 's triumph of the finer mind
When truth, affronted long,
Advances calm to her supreme,
Her God her only throng.

A triumph when temptation's bribe
Is slowly handed back,
One eye upon the heaven renounced
And one upon the rack.

Severer triumph, by himself
Experienced, who can pass
Acquitted from that naked bar,
Jehovah's countenance!
