【Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction—It Must Chang·I (1942)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) The old seraph, parcel-gilded, among violets Inhaled the appointed odor, while the doves Rose up like phantoms from chronologies.
The Italian girls wore jonquils in their hair And these the seraph saw, had seen long since, In the bandeaux of the mothers, would see again.
The bees came booming as if they had never gone, As if hyacinths had never gone. We say This changes and that changes. Thus the constant
Violets, doves, girls, bees and hyacinths Are inconstant objects of inconstant cause In a universe of inconstancy. This means
Night-blue is an inconstant thing. The seraph Is satyr in Saturn, according to his thoughts. It means the distaste we feel for this withered scene
Is that it has not changed enough. It remains, It is a repetition. The bees come booming As if—The pigeons clatter in the air.
An erotic perfume, half of the body, half Of an obvious acid is sure what it intends And the booming is blunt, not broken in subtleties. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《最高虚构笔记——它必要改变·之一》(1942年)】 异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 古老的六翼天使，局部镀金，在紫罗兰中 呼吸着能用的气味，而鸽子 像时序上的幻影飞起。
意大利姑娘头髻佩戴长寿花饰 还有六翼天使洞悉的事情，早已屡见不鲜， 在母亲的抹胸里，会再次出现。
蜜蜂群涌过来，仿佛它们从未离开， 宛若风信子不曾淡去。可以说 这个变了那个变了。就这样一成不变的
紫罗兰、鸽子、姑娘、蜜蜂和风信子 都是成因无常的多变对象 遍布莫测的宇宙之中。意味着
蓝色夜空反复无常。六翼天使 可谓土星中的色狼，单凭自身的思想理念。 表明我们厌恶如此枯萎的场景
并没有足够的改变。依然保留， 不断重复。蜜蜂群涌而至 如同——鸽子在空中啁啾。
魅惑香水，一半的芬芳馥郁，一半的 亦真亦幻果然正有此意 而嗡鸣声减弱，却又不失精妙。 【注】“福地福人居，福人居福地”。位于宾州华盛顿堡(Ft. Washington)的营山区距离费城很近，曾为商界大佬社会名流安家落户的风水宝地，像卓克索大学(Drexel Univ)创始人女儿公主·思变者(Sarah Drexel)婚嫁后的营山宫(Camp Hill Hall)、糖业巨头的岭木农庄(Ridgewood Farm)、益林避暑别墅(Fairwold Summer House)等见证历史，具有划时代意义。国人讲究风水，“宅以形势为体，以泉水为血脉，以土地为皮肉，以草木为毛发，以舍屋为衣服，以门户为冠带，若得如斯，是事俨雅，乃上吉。”镀金时代宾州著名乡舍何曾不是没有再现《子夏宅经》？ 独立战争中华盛顿将军领导的大陆军曾在这里安营扎寨，设有数千个露宿帐篷抗击英军。大陆军官兵前后花了6周时间来保护宾州西部地区物资供给，并监视占领费城的英国人，让前来督战的北美英军总司令勇将·山丘爵士(General Sir William Howe)望而生畏，只好撤回费城。 营山还是1856年火车大事故(Great Train Wreck )的发生地，死伤160多人，被视为那个年代全球前所未有的最严重的铁路灾难。 以下所有建筑均收录在《国家史迹名录》(Natl. Register of Historic Places)。
