【Sunday Morning·III (1923)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

        Jove in the clouds had his inhuman birth.

        No mother suckled him, no sweet land gave

        Large-mannered motions to his mythy mind.

        He moved among us, as a muttering king,

        Magnificent, would move among his hinds,

        Until our blood, commingling, virginal,

        With heaven, brought such requital to desire

        The very hinds discerned it, in a star.

        Shall our blood fail? Or shall it come to be

        The blood of paradise? And shall the earth

        Seem all of paradise that we shall know?

        The sky will be much friendlier then than now,

        A part of labor and a part of pain,

        And next in glory to enduring love,

        Not this dividing and indifferent blue.

【《星期天早晨·之三》(1923)】

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

            穹宇的天父非同凡胎。

            无需母亲哺育，没有甜蜜家园把

            这位古灵精怪养得气宇轩昂。

            他与我们来往，像个喃喃自語的国王，

            高贵庄严，夹在追随者中间，

            直到我们的生命与上天

            纯洁地交合，报以期待

            圣诞星上的追随者辨认出它。

            我们的鲜血会白流吗？还是因此融为

            乐园之血？大地将

            变成我们所知的人间天堂吗？

            未来的天空远比现在的亲善可爱，

            部分付出与部分辛酸，

            几乎像持之以恒的爱那么荣耀，

            而非这片分离漠然的蓝。

【注】今天是“国家的一切都属于我们”日，凑巧夹在昨天的耶稣受难瞻礼和明天宗教最重要的庆典——复活节之间。
