读书偶得之“见光死”

刚锱铢积累、附庸风雅、一知半解地通读完钱钟书《谈艺录》。该书“594页补正”（中华书局84年版p645）引了女诗人Emily Dickinson的一首诗，查手边Dickinson诗集，果然找到（Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson，Gramercy Books，1982,BookⅡ Love，XV，p83）。其诗云：

A Charm invests a face
Imperpectly beheld,——
The lady dare not lift her veil
For fear it be dispelled.

But peers beyond her mesh,
And wishes,and denies,——
Lest interview annul a want
That image satisfies.

窃谓，最后两句不正是现时俗语经常说的“见光死”吗？！
