【The Auroras of Autumn·VII (1948)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) Is there an imagination that sits enthroned As grim as it is benevolent, the just And the unjust, which in the midst of summer stops
To imagine winter? When the leaves are dead, Does it take its place in the north and enfold itself, Goat-leaper, crystalled and luminous, sitting
In highest night? And do these heavens adorn And proclaim it, the white creator of black, jetted By extinguishings, even of planets as may be,
Even of earth, even of sight, in snow, Except as needed by way of majesty, In the sky, as crown and diamond cabala?
It leaps through us, through all our heavens leaps, Extinguishing our planets, one by one, Leaving, of where we were and looked, of where
We knew each other and of each other thought, A shivering residue, chilled and foregone, Except for that crown and mystical cabala.
But it dare not leap by chance in its own dark. It must change from destiny to slight caprice. And thus its jetted tragedy, its stele
And shape and mournful making move to find What must unmake it and, at last, what can, Say, a flippant communication under the moon. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《秋天的极光·之七》(1948年)】 异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 是否有一种想象坐拥 冷酷与仁慈,正义 与非正义,不惜在仲夏
想象冬天?叶子枯凋的时候, 它是否呆在北方围成一团, 摩羯座,晶莹闪烁,停落
在最深的黑夜?难道这些天堂粉饰 并昭告天下,玄色的白造物主,喷刷 黑暗,甚而包括行星,
乃至地球,还有景象,白雪皑皑的世界, 除非威严所需, 天空中,显示皇冠和钻石奥秘?
它跃过我们,穿越所有的天堂, 让行星熄灭,一颗接着一颗, 绝尘离去,大家居住的家园,彼此相识的
故土和我们思想的地方, 破碎的残余,变得冰冷而被遗忘, 除了皇冠和钻石奥秘。
但不敢趁黑夜偶然地雀跃。 它必须把天意改得任性一点。 于是喷刷惨剧、碑石
形状和悲伤行为去寻找 破坏它的东西,最终,真的能够, 这么说,月光下草率的沟通。 【注】纽约大学家庭周末(10/21/2022—10/23/2022)后记 在美国,纽约大学并非属于唯一没有围墙的大学,但绝对算得上最为奇葩的校园,因为置身教学楼内外,你不仅能闻到唐人街意大利城飘进的饭香,而且还可嗅出华尔街金融区刮来的铜臭,在校生的脸上总是洋溢着百老汇式欢快的喜悦。 今年八月,文理学院首开先河,将“难为”想学医的本科生、现年84岁有机化学教授“草甸·神慈之子”(Maitland Jones Jr.)扫地出门,学生想拿文凭的愿望与教师把握教育的尺度在高昂学费的天平上终于失衡,由此展开人性与现实的辩论。 如今,人们拥有无限的需求,但满足这种需求的资源极其有限,于是势必要面临选择,而选择的结果就是,在追求某些事情的同时必须放弃其它。
