【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)】 异乡人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 黑鹂鸟随秋风盘旋。 哑剧的小段子。 【注】掌控者·一块地(Raymond Pitcairn, 1885生—1966卒)是匹兹堡平板玻璃公司创始人的大儿子——小绅士·一块地(John Pitcairn Jr.)，虽毕业于宾州大学法学院，但既未以律师为生，也没子承父业，相反却投身于毫无专业背景的建筑领域。1928—1939年间，他督建自家别墅——钟爱峡谷，这座结合哥特式与罗马式风格的花岗岩红宝石豪宅多达90多间房子，高耸壮观的九层塔楼、画栋雕梁的门廊石柱壁饰、镶嵌精美的马赛克、铜镍合金的门窗栅栏、中世纪早期彩绘玻璃窗、圣经帐幕的复制品……简直臻于登峰造极之美。此外，这里绝大部分艺术收藏品与宗教相关，不仅涵盖古埃及、古希腊、古罗马帝国等中世纪欧洲文化，而且还涉略伊斯兰、亚洲和美洲原住民作品，难怪这座外形如城堡、内设似教堂的地标性豪宅被视作不可多得的博物馆，无愧为宾州团结山丘历史地区(Bryn Athyn Historic District, PA)文化象征和杰出代表，如今已载入《国家史迹名录》。
