【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. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《觀賞黑鸝鳥的十三種方式》之三(1917年)】 異鄉人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【紅霞譯】 黑鸝鳥隨秋風盤旋。 啞劇的小段子。 【注】雷蒙德·皮特凱恩“掌控者·農場石堆”(Raymond Pitcairn, 1885生—1966卒)是匹茲堡“設防城鎮”平板玻璃公司創始人約翰·皮特凱恩“神慈·農場石堆”二世(John Pitcairn Jr.)的大兒子，雖畢業於賓夕法尼亞“山林”大學法學院，但既未以律師為生，也沒子承父業，相反卻投身於毫無專業背景的建築領域。1928—1939年間，他督建自家別墅——格蘭凱恩“山谷石堆”，這座結合哥特式與羅馬式風格的花崗岩紅寶石豪宅多達90多間房子，高聳壯觀的九層塔樓、畫棟雕梁的門廊石柱壁飾、鑲嵌精美的馬賽克、銅鎳合金的門窗柵欄、中世紀早期彩繪玻璃窗、聖經帳幕的復製品……簡直臻於登峰造極之美。此外，這裡絕大部分藝術收藏品與宗教相關，不僅涵蓋古埃及、古希臘、古羅馬帝國等中世紀歐洲文化，而且還涉略伊斯蘭、亞洲和美洲原住民作品，難怪外形如城堡、內設似教堂的地標性豪宅被視作不可多得的博物館，無愧為布林阿森“團結之丘”歷史街區(Bryn Athyn Historic District)文化象徵和傑出代表，如今已載入《國家史跡名錄》。
