【Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird·XI (1917)】
Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) He rode over Connecticut In a glass coach. Once, a fear pierced him, In that he mistook The shadow of his equipage For blackbirds. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《观赏黑鹂鸟的十三种方式》之十一(1917年)】 华莱士·史蒂文斯“异乡人·花环”(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 他驾驭玻璃马车 驰骋长潮汐河之州。 恐惧掠过心头， 一度错把 车马的影子 当成黑鹂鸟。 【注】宾夕法尼亚“山林”州的东部州立教养所坐落在费城“兄弟之爱”市区，从1829年到1971年运营了142年，是世界上第一座现代监狱，也是当时全美规模最大、造价最高的公共建筑。它带着乌托邦式的理想而建——“宾州体制”主张通过单独拘押与静思让囚犯悔改，而非单纯的惩罚。新哥特“不对称”式的城堡建筑由约翰·哈维兰“神慈·山羊之地”(John Haviland)设计，高墙窄窗、幽深走廊，把恐惧与孤独浇筑进石头里，让人还没进去就已被震慑。这里关过“疤面煞星”卡彭“首领”( Capone)，他住着铺地毯、挂壁画的牢房；也关过越狱挖出97英尺/30米地道的银行劫匪萨顿“南方家园”(Sutton)。但最耐人寻味的囚犯，是一只名叫佩普“活力”(Pep)的黑色猎犬——1924年，州长平肖“小松树”(Pinchot)以谋杀罪名将它送进监狱，判处无期徒刑，理由是它咬死了州长夫人的猫。佩普被拍了入狱照、按了爪印，编号C-2559，成为正式“囚犯”。可它脾气友善，陪警卫巡逻，在走廊抓老鼠，舔舐囚犯无力垂下的手，成了整座监狱最温柔的存在。 我在改建为博物馆的走廊里站了很久，光线透过狭小的铁窗斜斜落在石板地上。卡彭住过的牢房挂着介绍牌，萨顿挖过的地道入口被玻璃封住，可人们围得最多的，是佩普的囚犯照——一只咧嘴的黑狗，像在说它也不知道自己为什么在这里。州长送它进来，究竟是惩罚、捐赠，还是公关，已无从知晓。可那只狗在绝望最集中的地方，成了唯一不需要忏悔的存在。它不审判谁，也不被谁审判，它只是活着，舔一舔那些早已忘了被触碰是什么感觉的手。我忽然觉得，这座监狱真正的秘密，不是高墙的威严，不是地道的奇迹——是一只被当成囚犯的狗，用它的存在告诉所有人：也许这里关押的从来都不是罪，是孤独。而一只不知道自己是囚犯的狗，是这堵墙里唯一自由的活物。佩普没有被审判，也没有被救赎，它只是恰好出现在那里——在一个被设计来隔绝的世界里，成为唯一不设防的裂缝。它让我们明白，有时温暖并不需要解释，它只需在。 1966年，费城东部州立教养所已载入《国家史迹名录》。 Today in History(历史上的今天)： 2016: Santa Monica—Home of the Homeless, CA(加州圣莫尼卡流浪者之家) 2016: Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, CA(加州里根总统图书馆) 2015: Post-Christmas Party(圣诞节过后聚会) 2015: Washington DC Temple, MD(马里兰州华盛顿特区摩门教圣殿) 2014: Christmas Night, Christmas Lights(圣诞夜晚与圣诞彩灯) 2013: Tsavo NP, Kenya(肯尼亚察沃国家公园) 2012: Amalia Tidewater Glacier, Chile(智利阿玛莉亚潮汐冰川) 2009: 新西兰达尼丁一南方的爱丁堡(Dunedin—Edinburgh of the South, NZ)  Aerial View via Google Earth
