【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.

【《最高虛構筆記——它必要改變·之十》(1942年)】

異鄉人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【紅霞譯】

            長凳當作他的強直性昏厥，劇情

            轉折。他坐在公園裡。湖泊

            水域布滿人造之物，

            像樂曲，像高空，

            像光色，其中天鵝

            是六翼天使，是聖徒神仆，是改變的本質。

            西風化作音樂、動態、力量

            天鵝身之所往，改變的意願，

            用虹彩回紋裝飾空白的信念。

            存心改變，迫切

            而現今的方式，一種展示，一個

            變化無常的世界，恆久未改，

            流浪者以暗喻的眼神

            博得大家的注意。光靠隨意

            遠遠不夠。新轉型滋生

            新世界。我們自己，

            我們每一位，我們各個精神飽滿，

            還有那種必要和那種發揮

            成為我們凝視的玻璃拓片。

            所有這些誕生伊始，春意盎然，締結

            良緣吧。時間終將留下印記。
