Proud of My Broken Heart [French translation]

Proud of my broken heart, since thou didst break it.

Proud of the pain, I did not feel? till thee.

Proud of my night, since thou, with moons, dost shake it.

Not to partake thy passion, my humility

Thou canst not boast, like Jesus, drunken without companion

Was the strong cup of anguish brewed for the Nazarene

Thou canst not pierce tradition with the peerless puncture,

See! I usurped thy crucifix to honor mine!

• Artist:Emily Dickinson
