【Esthétique du Mal·II (1945)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) At a town in which acacias grew, he lay On his balcony at night. Warblings became Too dark, too far, too much the accents of Afflicted sleep, too much the syllables That would form themselves, in time, and communicate The intelligence of his despair, express What meditation never quite achieved.
The moon rose up as if it had escaped His meditation. It evaded his mind. It was part of a supremacy always Above him. The moon was always free from him, As night was free from him. The shadow touched Or merely seemed to touch him as he spoke A kind of elegy he found in space:
It is pain that is indifferent to the sky In spite of the yellow of the acacias, the scent Of them in the air still hanging heavily In the hoary-hanging night. It does not regard This freedom, this supremacy, and in Its own hallucination never sees How that which rejects it saves it in the end. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《惡之美學·之二》(1945年)】 異鄉人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【紅霞譯】 金合歡成林的小鎮,他躺在 夜晚的陽台上。鶯鳴變得 太沉、太遠,太雜的聲調 影響睡眠,太多的音節 形成關聯,最後,傳達 他絕望的信息,抒發 沉思無法實現的願望。
月亮升起好像早已逃出 他的沉思。迴避他的想法。 始終少不了至尊無雙 凌駕於他之上。月亮一直躲着他, 隨着夜晚離他遠去。唯有影子相伴 或者僅僅陪他吟誦 宇宙中獲取的輓歌:
面對蒼天冷漠疏離的痛苦 不管金合歡的黃色如何,花香 濃郁地瀰漫着空氣 在發灰的夜晚。沒有認同 這種自由,這種至尊無雙,況且單憑 臆想永遠無法理解 排斥的痛苦最終如何得以解除。 【注】這首詩歌描述在太空中找到輓歌的濟慈式詩人;而以下相片則是關於休斯頓“智城”以南街區——全世界鑄鐵(Cast-Iron)建築最多的歷史保留地,後由廠房改造成藝術家閣樓或稱車間(Lofts)式畫廊。 1978年,南休斯頓歷史街區被納入《美國國家歷史遺蹟名錄》。
