【The Planet on the Table (1953)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

        Ariel was glad he had written his poems.

        They were of a remembered time

        Or of something seen that he liked.

        Other makings of the sun

        Were waste and welter

        And the ripe shrub writhed.

        His self and the sun were one

        And his poems, although makings of his self,

        Were no less makings of the sun.

        It was not important that they survive.

        What mattered was that they should bear

        Some lineament or character,

        Some affluence, if only half-perceived,

        In the poverty of their words,

        Of the planet of which they were part.

【《桌子上的行星》(1953)】

華萊士·史蒂文斯“異鄉人·花環”(1879生—1955卒)

【紅霞譯】

            神俠詩興大發。

            那些值得回味的歲月

            再不然賞心悅目的美好。

            太陽的其它傑作

            關乎浪費和混亂

            成熟灌木的扭擺。

            他的自我和太陽如出一轍

            而他的詩，雖塑造個人的風格，

            卻毫不遜於太陽的氣派。

            它們是否流芳後世並不重要。

            關鍵在於應該承載

            某種特徵或特性，

            某種深邃，哪怕略有所成，

            利用淺顯的語言，

            所在貧瘠的星球。
