【Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction—It Must Chang·V (1942)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) On a blue island in a sky-wide water The wild orange trees continued to bloom and to bear, Long after the planter's death. A few limes remained,
Where his house had fallen, three scraggy trees weighted With garbled green. These were the planter's turquoise And his orange blotches, these were his zero green,
A green baked greener in the greenest sun. These were his beaches, his sea-myrtles in White sand, his patter of the long sea-slushes.
There was an island beyond him on which rested, An island to the South, on which rested like A mountain, a pine-apple pungent as Cuban summer.
And là-bas, là-bas, the cool bananas grew, Hung heavily on the great banana tree, Which pierces clouds and bends on half the world.
He thought often of the land from which he came, How that whole country was a melon, pink If seen rightly and yet a possible red.
An unaffected man in a negative light Could not have borne his labor nor have died Sighing that he should leave the banjo’s twang. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《最高虚构笔记——它必要改变·之五》(1942年)】 华莱士·史蒂文斯“异乡人·花环”(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 碧蓝的海岛天旷海阔 野橘树持续开花结果， 直到种植园主死后很久。酸橙所剩无几，
房子早已倒塌，三棵东倒西歪的大树渲染了 葱郁凋零。种植园主曾经的绿松色 和橙斑色，还有无绿色，
纯绿的阳光烤得更显憔悴。 曾经的海滩，曾经的香根菊长在 白沙上，拍打着长长的泥岸。
身后远离居住的海岛， 面朝南方，峻拔得堪比 一座大山，刺鼻的菠萝香气，宛似古巴的夏天。
而那边，就是那边，顶好的香蕉长了出来， 沉甸甸垂挂在大蕉叶下， 穿透云层并半弯在地上。
他时常追忆家乡， 乡间多像香瓜，粉色的 若看得透否则可能是红色的。
局外人站在负面的角度 吃不得苦，也死不掉 哀叹他该丢弃班卓琴般鼻腔乡音。 【注】在我家所在的宾夕法尼亚“山林”州，紧挨着一个名叫霍舍姆“马匹之家”的小镇。对于大多数美国人来说，这个名字或许有些陌生——它既不是旅游胜地，也不是什么历史名城，只是一个安静的郊区小镇，绿树成荫的街道两旁是典型的美式独栋住宅，偶尔有汽车驶过，惊起草坪上的加拿大鹅。 但霍舍姆有一片特殊的天空。 在这片天空下，曾经回荡着战斗机起降的轰鸣声，曾经有过穿着军装的年轻人匆匆走过，曾经有一个名字，写进了半个世纪的冷战历史——海军航空站柳树林联合后备基地(Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Willow Grove)。 如今，那个名字已经成了过去式。基地的原址上，立着新的标牌：比德尔“执事”空军国民警卫队基地(Biddle Air Guard Station)。名字变了，功能变了，连归属都从海军转到了空军。但那些关于冷战的故事，那些被驻军改变的命运，依然镌刻在这座小镇的记忆里。 从柳树林到比德尔，从冷战前哨到转型样本，霍舍姆的故事，是一个关于依赖与自立、告别与新生的故事。而这样的故事，正在美国无数个曾经依赖军事基地的小镇上，以不同的方式上演。 不管怎样，如下建筑被载入《国家史迹名录》。
