Solitude - This is a delicious evening, when the whole body is one sense,

This is a delicious evening, when the whole body is one sense,

and imbibes delight through every pore.

imbibe 흡수하다

pore 땀구멍

 

I go and come with a strange liberty in Nature, a part of herself.

 

As I walk along the stony shore of the pond in my shirt sleeves,

though it is cool as well as cloudy and windy,

and I see nothing special to attract me,

all the elements are unusually congenial to me.

unusually 몹시

congenial 마음이 맞는

 

The bullfrogs trump to usher in the night,

and the note of the whippoorwill

is borne on the rippling wind from over the water.

trump 나팔을 불다

usher 정직하게 안내하다

note 음

whippoorwill 속독새

bear-bore-borne 가지고 오다

ripple 잔물결을 이루다

 

Sympathy with the fluttering alder and poplar leaves

almost takes away my breath;

yet, like the lake, my serenity is rippled but not ruffled.

sympathy 공감

flutter 흔들리다

alder 오리나무 

poplar 포플러나무

serenity 고요함

ruffle 헝클다; (사람의 마음을)흐트러뜨리다

 

These small waves raised by the evening wind

are as remote from storm as the smooth reflecting surface.

 

Though it is now dark,

the wind still blows and roars in the wood, the waves still dash,

and some creatures lull the rest with their notes.

lull 달래다; 진정시키다

 

The repose is never complete.

 repose 휴식, 수면

The wildest animals do not repose, but seek their prey now;

the fox, and skunk, and rabbit,

now roam the fields and woods without fear.

 

They are Nature’s watchmen,

-links which connect the day of animated life.
