【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. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《最高虛構筆記——它必要改變·之五》(1942年)】 異鄉人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【紅霞譯】 碧藍的海島天曠海闊 野橘樹持續開花結果， 直到種植園主死後很久。酸橙所剩無幾，
房子早已倒塌，三棵東倒西歪的大樹渲染了 蔥鬱凋零。種植園主曾經的綠松色 和橙斑色，還有無綠色，
純綠的陽光烤得更顯憔悴。 曾經的海灘，曾經的香根菊長在 白沙上，拍打着長長的泥岸。
身後遠離居住的海島， 面朝南方，峻拔得堪比 一座大山，刺鼻的菠蘿香氣，宛似古巴的夏天。
而那邊，就是那邊，頂好的香蕉長了出來， 沉甸甸垂掛在大蕉葉下， 穿透雲層並半彎在地上。
他時常追憶家鄉， 鄉間多像香瓜，粉色的 若看得透否則可能是紅色的。
局外人站在負面的角度 吃不得苦，也死不掉 哀嘆他該丟棄班卓琴般鼻腔鄉音。 【注】我家緊挨着霍舍姆“馬匹之家”鎮，最招眼目的莫過於曾被徵用的海軍航空站柳樹林聯合後備基地的海軍航空站柳樹林聯合後備基地(Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Willow Grove)、現已改為比德爾“執事”空軍國民警衛隊基地(Biddle Air Guard Station)，近50年的美蘇冷戰讓霍舍姆因駐軍而獲得豐厚的金融利益，直到2006年裁軍部署才徹底導致霍舍姆經濟轉型。 不管怎樣，如下建築被載入《國家史跡名錄》。
