【Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction—It Must Chang·IV (1942)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

         Two things of opposite natures seem to depend

         On one another, as a man depends

         On a woman, day on night, the imagined

         On the real. This is the origin of change.

         Winter and spring, cold copulars, embrace

         And forth the particulars of rapture come.

         Music falls on the silence like a sense,

         A passion that we feel, not understand.

         Morning and afternoon are clasped together

         And North and South are an intrinsic couple

         And sun and rain a plural, like two lovers

         That walk away as one in the greenest body.

         In solitude the trumpets of solitude

         Are not of another solitude resounding;

         A little string speaks for a crowd of voices.

         The partaker partakes of that which changes him.

         The child that touches takes character from the thing,

         The body, it touches. The captain and his men

         Are one and the sailor and the sea are one.

         Follow after, O my companion, my fellow, my self,

         Sister and solace, brother and delight.

【《最高虚构笔记——它必要改变·之四》(1942年)】

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

             两个本质相反的事物似乎取决于

             彼此之间的关系，正如男人

             和女人，白天和黑夜，想象

             和现实。这就是变化的根源。

             冬和春，相互独立的连结，欣然接受

             涌现出来的狂喜特色。

             音乐好比一种感觉玄若无声，

             一股激情令我们感受，却无法理解。

             早上和下午紧密相扣

             而南和北天造地设

             还有晴和雨自然成双，宛若两位恋人

             以最瓷实的生胚体出入相随。

             孤独中孤独的号角

             并非另一种孤独的回响；

             一根微弦奏出一堆声音。

             参与者分享改变自身的事物。

             触动的孩童汲取人格魅力，

             无论自身，还是外界。船长和船员

             一心而水手和大海一体。

             追求吧，哦我的伙伴，我的朋友，我自己，

             姐妹与安慰，兄弟与喜悦。

【注】灰农庄公园建于1722年，最早作为英籍时任宾州副州长勇将·森林爵士(Sir William Keith)的避暑别墅——涌流低谷(Fountain Low)，是唯一幸存的殖民时代度假官邸，不仅于1966年被列入《美国国家史迹名录》(US Natl. Register of Historic Places)，而且还被定为国家历史地标。1737年，该州长继女的丈夫“双·灰农庄”医生(Dr. Thomas Graeme)接手涌流低谷并改名至今。
