【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)】 摇摆•惠特曼(1819生—1892卒) 拂开大草原的草，吸着它那特殊的香味， 我向它索要精神上相应的讯息， 索要人们最丰饶而亲密的伴侣关系， 要求那语言、行动和本性的叶片高高耸起， 那些在磅礴大气中粗犷、新鲜、阳光闪耀而富于营养的， 那些以自己的步态笔挺地、自由地、庄严地行走，领先而从不落后的， 那些一贯地威武不屈、有着美好刚健和洁净无瑕肌肤的， 那些在总统和州长们面前也漫不经心、好像要说你是谁的？ 那些怀着土生土长的感情，朴素而从不拘束、从不驯服的。 那些美利坚本土的叶片！ 【注】坐上世上第一座过山车穿行美国第二条重力铁路，映入眼帘的是里海“河汊”峡谷州立公园深邃的峡谷、茂密的植被、裸露的岩石、飞奔的瀑布…… Today in History(历史上的今天): 2021: 宾州明路镇(Jim Thorpe, A Bright Path in PA) 2017: Sound of Music, Austria(奥地利─音乐之声) 2016: Across Oresund Strait, Baltic Sea(穿越波罗的海砾石声海峡)
