2022-10-22 International Stammering Awareness Day 【Esthétique du Mal·I (1945)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) He was at Naples writing letters home And, between letters, reading paragraphs On the sublime. Vesuvius had groaned For a month. It was pleasant to be sitting there While the sultriest fulgurations, flickering, Cast corners in the glass. He could describe The terror of the sound because the sound Was ancient. He tried to remember the phrases: pain Audible at noon, pain torturing itself, Pain killing pain on the very point of pain. The volcano trembled in another ether, As the body trembles at the end of life.
It was almost time for lunch. Pain is human. There were roses in the cool café. His book Made sure of the most correct catastrophe. Except for us, Vesuvius might consume In solid fire the utmost earth and know No pain (ignoring the cocks that crow us up To die). This is a part of the sublime From which we shrink. And yet, except for us, The total past felt nothing when destroyed. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《恶之美学·之一》(1945年)】 异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 他在那不勒斯给家里写信 而且,一边书写,一边分段阅读 《论崇高》。维苏威火山已呻吟了 一个月。趴在那里享受 最闷热的狂欢,光亮闪烁, 窗户玻璃的铸钢角件。他可以描述 声音的恐怖是因为声音 古老。他试图记住只言片语:痛苦 中午加剧,痛苦折磨自身, 痛苦至极痛苦杀死痛苦。 火山在另一个空间抖颤, 身体在生命的尽头颤抖。
快到午餐时间。痛苦是人为的。 凉爽咖啡馆摆着玫瑰。他的书 证实了最准确无误的灾难。 除了我们,维苏威火山可能会烧毁 坚实的土地却感觉 不到任何痛苦(漠视叫醒人的公鸡 死亡)。这是崇高的部分 我们置之度外。然而,除了我们, 整个过去在被摧毁时都不以为然。 【注】这首诗描述沉思的人正在阅读《论崇高》一书;而以下相片则是关于西村区——纽约波西米亚(意指“放荡不羁的艺术家”)所在地。 Today in History(历史上的今天):
