Emily Dickinson: Impossibility, like Wine – the autograph. Courtesy of Amherst College, Amherst MA<\/p><\/div>\n

Emily Dickinson wrote her poem around 1864. She died 22 years later. She did not live to see her poem published. She did not live to see any of her poems published.<\/p>\n

Somebody has suggested that, while composing the poem, she was thinking of enchantment and exhilaration as the elements of her creative process. Somebody else claims that looking for the possible inside the impossible is the spice of life. Still others feel that in wine, there is truth, and that the poem should be translated into Polish. I agree on all counts.<\/p>\n

Impossibility, like Wine<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Impossibility, like Wine
\nExhilarates the Man
\nWho tastes it; Possibility
\nIs flavorless \u2014 Combine<\/p>\n

A Chance’s faintest Tincture
\nAnd in the former Dram
\nEnchantment makes ingredient
\nAs certainly as Doom \u2014<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Niemo\u017cno\u015b\u0107 niczym Wino<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Niemo\u017cno\u015b\u0107 niczym Wino
\nWprowadza w Upojenie
\nTego, kto j\u0105 kosztuje;
\nMo\u017cno\u015b\u0107 ma smak nijaki \u2013<\/p>\n

Dodaj cho\u0107 cie\u0144 Nadziei
\nI w \u0142yku Niemo\u017cno\u015bci
\nOczarowanie znajdziesz
\nPewne jak Pot\u0119pienie \u2013<\/p>\n
