【The Prairies (1892)】 Walt Whitman (1819—1892) The prairie-grass dividing, its special odor breathing, I demand of it the spiritual corresponding, Demand the most copious and close companionship of men, Demand the blades to rise of words, acts, beings, Those of the open atmosphere, coarse, sunlit, fresh, nutritious, Those that go their own gait, erect, stepping with freedom and command, leading not following, Those with a never-quell’d audacity, those with sweet and lusty flesh clear of taint, Those that look carelessly in the faces of Presidents and governors, as to say Who are you? Those of earth-born passion, simple, never constrain’d, never obedient, Those of inland America. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《大草原》(1892年)】 搖擺•惠特曼(1819生—1892卒) 拂開大草原的草，吸着它那特殊的香味， 我向它索要精神上相應的訊息， 索要人們最豐饒而親密的伴侶關係， 要求那語言、行動和本性的葉片高高聳起， 那些在磅礴大氣中粗獷、新鮮、陽光閃耀而富於營養的， 那些以自己的步態筆挺地、自由地、莊嚴地行走，領先而從不落後的， 那些一貫地威武不屈、有着美好剛健和潔淨無瑕肌膚的， 那些在總統和州長們面前也漫不經心、好像要說你是誰的？ 那些懷着土生土長的感情，樸素而從不拘束、從不馴服的。 那些美利堅本土的葉片！ 【注】坐上世上第一座過山車穿行美國第二條重力鐵路，映入眼帘的是裏海“河汊”峽谷州立公園深邃的峽谷、茂密的植被、裸露的岩石、飛奔的瀑布…… Today in History(歷史上的今天): 2021: 賓州明路鎮(Jim Thorpe, A Bright Path in PA) 2017: Sound of Music, Austria(奧地利─音樂之聲) 2016: Across Oresund Strait, Baltic Sea(穿越波羅的海礫石聲海峽)
