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

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

         A bench was his catalepsy, Theatre

         Of Trope. He sat in the park. The water of

         The lake was full of artificial things,

         Like a page of music, like an upper air,

         Like a momentary color, in which swans

         Were seraphs, were saints, were changing essences.

         The west wind was the music, the motion, the force

         To which the swans curveted, a will to change,

         A will to make iris frettings on the blank.

         There was a will to change, a necessitous

         And present way, a presentation, a kind

         Of volatile world, too constant to be denied,

         The eye of a vagabond in metaphor

         That catches our own. The casual is not

         Enough. The freshness of transformation is

         The freshness of a world. It is our own,

         It is ourselves, the freshness of ourselves,

         And that necessity and that presentation

         Are rubbings of a glass in which we peer.

         Of these beginnings, gay and green, propose

         The suitable amours. Time will write them down.

【《最高虚构笔记——它必要改变·之十》(1942年)】

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

            长凳当作他的强直性昏厥，剧情

            转折。他坐在公园里。湖泊

            水域布满人造之物，

            像乐曲，像高空，

            像光色，其中天鹅

            是六翼天使，是圣徒神仆，是改变的本质。

            西风化作音乐、动态、力量

            天鹅身之所往，改变的意愿，

            用虹彩回纹装饰空白的信念。

            存心改变，迫切

            而现今的方式，一种展示，一个

            变化无常的世界，恒久未改，

            流浪者以暗喻的眼神

            博得大家的注意。光靠随意

            远远不够。新转型滋生

            新世界。我们自己，

            我们每一位，我们各个精神饱满，

            还有那种必要和那种发挥

            成为我们凝视的玻璃拓片。

            所有这些诞生伊始，春意盎然，缔结

            良缘吧。时间终将留下印记。
