【Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird·III (1917)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) The blackbird whirled in the autumn winds. It was a small part of the pantomime. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《观赏黑鹂鸟的十三种方式》之三(1917年)】 华莱士·史蒂文斯“异乡人·花环”(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 黑鹂鸟随秋风盘旋。 哑剧的小段子。 【注】雷蒙德·皮特凯恩“掌控者·农场石堆”(Raymond Pitcairn)是老约翰“神慈”的长子,1885年出生,宾夕法尼亚“山林”大学法学院毕业,却从未以律师为业,也没有继承父业——他投身建筑,在一个毫无专业背景的领域里,建起了美国建筑史上一座独特的城堡。1928年至1939年间,他督建了自己的家格兰凯恩“山谷石堆”,一座融合哥特“不对称”式与罗马“力量”式的花岗岩城堡,坐落在布林阿森“团结之丘”(Bryn Athyn)坡地上俯瞰特拉华“好斗者”河谷。90多间房分布在10个楼层,9层塔楼伸向天空,画栋雕梁,马赛克镶嵌满墙,铜镍合金门窗至今闪光,中世纪彩绘玻璃投下斑斓光影。他还收藏了约8,000件宗教艺术品,涵盖古埃及、古希腊、罗马帝国、中世纪欧洲,以及伊斯兰“服从真主的旨意”、亚洲和美洲原住民作品。大都会博物馆前馆长曾评价:这是世界上现存于私人手中最精美、最广泛的中世纪雕塑与彩绘玻璃收藏。1979年格兰凯恩作为博物馆开放,2008年成为国家历史地标。 我站在格兰凯恩的彩绘玻璃窗前,光穿过13世纪的玻璃碎片,在地板上淌成一条深浅不一的河。雷蒙德一生没学过建筑,却建了一座让建筑师仰望的城堡。他不是在盖房子,是在把信仰砌进石头里,让看不见的东西变成看得见的东西。他收藏那些古老的玻璃和石雕,不是为了占有,是为了让工匠们知道,他们手上的活儿,和几百年前的人有关。我忽然觉得,他不是建筑者,也不是收藏家——他是一个搬运时间的人,把过去的光一块一块搬进自己的房子里,让它在新的世纪重新落下来,照在活着的人身上。他不是在留住过去,是在让它继续活。而彩绘玻璃的美,就是它知道自己是易碎的,却还是把自己交给光。格兰凯恩不是博物馆,是一座让时间慢下来的容器,让每一个走进来的人,都觉得自己不是来参观的,是被那些石头和玻璃认出来的。 Today in History(历史上的今天): 2021: Cairnwood—Chateau-like Estate, PA(宾州钟爱森林乡间庄园) 2021: Bryn Athyn Historic District, PA(宾州团结山丘历史地区) 2015 Winter Concert of Seventh Grade(2015年初二冬季音乐会) 2013: Elephanta Caves, India(印度象岛石窟) 2012: 南美洲逍遥游(Frolics in South America) Glencairn, a Museum of Religious Art & History
