【The Auroras of Autumn·IV (1948)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

       Farewell to an idea … The cancellings,

       The negations are never final. The father sits

       In space, wherever he sits, of bleak regard,

       As one that is strong in the bushes of his eyes.

       He says no to no and yes to yes. He says yes

       To no; and in saying yes he says farewell.

       He measures the velocities of change.

       He leaps from heaven to heaven more rapidly

       Than bad angels leap from heaven to hell in flames.

       But now he sits in quiet and green-a-day.

       He assumes the great speeds of space and flutters them

       From cloud to cloudless, cloudless to keen clear

       In flights of eye and ear, the highest eye

       And the lowest ear, the deep ear that discerns,

       At evening, things that attend it until it hears

       The supernatural preludes of its own,

       At the moment when the angelic eye defines

       Its actors approaching, in company, in their masks.

       Master O master seated by the fire

       And yet in space and motionless and yet

       Of motion the ever-brightening origin,

       Profound, and yet the king and yet the crown,

       Look at this present throne. What company,

       In masks, can choir it with the naked wind?

【《秋天的极光·之四》(1948年)】

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

           告别构思……状态解除，

           否定永远不会终结。父亲置身

           九层之台，无论何处，都消极看待，

           散漫眼神中的强者。

           他对不说不对是称是。他肯定

           不是；而说是的时候，却道再会。

           他衡量变化周转率。

           他从天堂越过天堂的速度要比

           恶魔从天堂坠入地狱之门的火坑更快。

           但如今他终日静赏自然。

           臆想天体转速惊人并引发振动

           从云收天到净无埃，再到万里晴

           飞舞中的视听感官，最尖锐的眼睛

           最灵敏的耳朵，强烈的辨音力能察觉，

           夜晚出现的动静直至听到

           自身超脱现实的序曲，

           当天使之眼望见

           演员靠近，会集一起，戴着面具。

           主啊坐在篝火边的救世主

           纵使九层之台仍屹立不动而且

           永葆生机活力，

           深邃睿智，不愧是国王，还加冕皇冠，

           瞧这眼前的宝座。多好的会集，

           戴着面具，试与裸露风和鸣？
