【The Man with the Blue Guitar·XXIV (1937)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

             A poem like a missal found

             In the mud, a missal for that young man,

             That scholar hungriest for that book,

             The very book, or, less, a page

             Or, at the least, a phrase, that phrase,

             A hawk of life, that latined phrase:

             To know; a missal for brooding-sight.

             To meet that hawk's eye and to flinch

             Not at the eye but at the joy of it.

             I play. But this is what I think.

【《彈藍色吉他的人》之廿四(1937年)】

華萊士·史蒂文斯“異鄉人·花環”(1879生—1955卒)

【紅霞譯】

            找到像感謝獻祭的詩篇

            從泥土裡，專給年輕人的聖書，

            那名學者渴望的讀物，

            經典之作，縱使，不到，一頁

            或者，僅為，一個警句，人生格言，

            生命之鷹，拉丁文座右銘：

            去領悟；默想神的話。

            去直視犀利的眼神而退縮的

            不是期待的目光，卻是擁有的快樂。

            我彈琴。僅此而已。

【注】1959年竣工的貝斯·肖洛姆“和平之家”猶太教堂坐落在賓夕法尼亞“山林”州切爾滕納姆“懸崖下的村莊”鎮(Cheltenham)，是唯一由著名建築師弗蘭克·勞埃德·賴特“自由者·灰發·工匠”(Frank Lloyd Wright)設計的保守派猶太教堂：沙漠色混凝土結構的玻璃金字塔由金屬框架連接在一起，宛若大型溫室花房；卷葉框架採納了12世紀哥特時代幾何狀裝飾效果，看起來很像賴特設計的燭台或燭燈，而且每個框架帶包括七個卷葉，象徵着寺廟燭台上七支蠟燭，這座“舉世矚目半透明式現代主義風格的古廟”就這樣被建築師搬到了費城郊區。

2007年，貝斯·肖洛姆猶太教堂被列入《國家史跡名錄》。
