【The Auroras of Autumn·VIII (1948)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) There may be always a time of innocence. There is never a place. Or if there is no time, If it is not a thing of time, nor of place,
Existing in the idea of it, alone, In the sense against calamity, it is not Less real. For the oldest and coldest philosopher,
There is or may be a time of innocence As pure principle. Its nature is its end, That it should be, and yet not be, a thing
That pinches the pity of the pitiful man, Like a book at evening beautiful but untrue, Like a book on rising beautiful and true.
It is like a thing of ether that exists Almost as predicate. But it exists, It exists, it is visible, it is, it is.
So, then, these lights are not a spell of light, A saying out of a cloud, but innocence. An innocence of the earth and no false sign
Or symbol of malice. That we partake thereof, Lie down like children in this holiness, As if, awake, we lay in the quiet of sleep,
As if the innocent mother sang in the dark Of the room and on an accordion, half-heard, Created the time and place in which we breathed. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《秋天的極光·之八》(1948年)】 異鄉人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【紅霞譯】 也許總有純真的時間。 而沒有純真的地點。要麼時間並非存在, 如果時間虛無縹緲,那麼空間徒有其名, 只有想象的存在,僅此而已, 與苦難相比,一點都不 缺少真實。久經世故的哲學家說過, 純真的時間會或可能成為 純真的本質。自然是有盡頭的, 應該是,但又不是,就這樣 刺痛可憐傢伙的惻隱之心, 黃昏完美而虛幻, 日出奇麗又真實。 好像存在的假想物質, 幾乎作為謂敘述語。但存在, 存在,可見,真的,真地。 那麼,這些光不是光的咒語, 或雲中的說道,而是純真。 世上的純真並無假象 或惡意的象徵。我們置身其中, 像孩子一樣躺在神聖的地方, 仿佛,醒着,安詳地沉睡, 宛如純真的母親在黑暗的 房間裡拉着手風琴歌唱,尚未聽完, 已讓我們感受到時空。
