【Sunday Morning·IV (1923)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

        She says, “I am content when wakened birds,

        Before they fly, test the reality

        Of misty fields, by their sweet questionings;

        But when the birds are gone, and their warm fields

        Return no more, where, then, is paradise?”

        There is not any haunt of prophecy,

        Nor any old chimera of the grave,

        Neither the golden underground, nor isle

        Melodious, where spirits gat them home,

        Nor visionary south, nor cloudy palm

        Remote on heaven's hill, that has endured

        As April's green endures; or will endure

        Like her remembrance of awakened birds,

        Or her desire for June and evening, tipped

        By the consummation of the swallow's wings.

【《星期天早晨·之四》(1923)】

华莱士·史蒂文斯“异乡人·花环”(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

            她说，“我很高兴醒来的鸟群

            临飞之前，用悦耳的质问来核实

            迷雾笼罩的原野；

            但当鸟群离去，温暖的田园

            永无复返，何处才是世外桃源？”

            少了任何预言常驻的地方，

            少了冥界老怪出没的场所，

            没有金枝的地下世界，没有海妖的

            歌声动听，幽魂找到的归宿，

            失去梦幻的南国，失去浓密的棕榈

            远在天堂，始终保持

            四月的青翠；或许回味无穷

            如同她怀念醒来的鸟群，

            或许她对六月黄昏的渴望，随着

            燕子的振翅一挥而消散。
