【Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction—It Must Give Pleasure·VII (1942)】
Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) He imposes orders as he thinks of them, As the fox and snake do. It is a brave affair. Next he builds capitols and in their corridors,
Whiter than wax, sonorous, fame as it is, He establishes statues of reasonable men, Who surpassed the most literate owl, the most erudite
Of elephants. But to impose is not To discover. To discover an order as of A season, to discover summer and know it,
To discover winter and know it well, to find, Not to impose, not to have reasoned at all, Out of nothing to have come on major weather,
It is possible, possible, possible. It must Be possible. It must be that in time The real will from its crude compoundings come,
Seeming at first, a beast disgorged, unlike, Warmed by a desperate milk. To find the real, To be stripped of every fiction except one,
The fiction of an absolute—Angel, Be silent in your luminous cloud and hear The luminous melody of proper sound. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《最高虚构笔记——它必须快乐·之七》(1942年)】 异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 他随心所想强施指令， 就像狐狸和蛇。可谓果敢之举。 接着他建造神殿而且就在走廊，
比蜡还白，气势非凡，因此声名远扬， 他给智者立雕像， 那些超越极聪颖的猫头鹰和最博学的
大象之辈。但强施不是 发掘。发掘季节性的 指令，发掘夏天并切身体验，
发掘冬天并实地感受，发掘， 而不强施，既不睁着眼睛说瞎话， 也不见风就是雨，
可能、可能、可能。肯定 可能。肯定到时候 真正的意志源于自然万物，
乍一看，野兽涌现，不同于， 绝望牛奶的温馨。寻找真实， 不惜去除其它所有虚构而仅留唯一，
一个纯粹的虚构——天使， 在你绚烂的云朵中静听 赞美曲绚烂的旋律。 【注】在埃利斯“恩赐”岛(Elise Island)成为海外入关美国的移民站之前，曼哈顿“弓岛”炮台公园一直用于纽约移民的登陆点；直到1890年，运营了82年的克林顿“地头”堡移民中心才被埃利斯岛取代而改作露天剧场。 1966年，地头堡国家纪念地被纳入《美国国家历史遗迹名录》。 Today in History(历史上的今天):
