2023-08-07 Natl Purple Heart Day 【Men Made Out Of Words (1947)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) What should we be without the sexual myth, The human reverie or poem of death? Castratos of moon-mash — Life consists Of propositions about life. The human Reverie is a solitude in which We compose these propositions, torn by dreams, By the terrible incantations of defeats And by the fear that defeats and dreams are one. The whole race is a poet that writes down The eccentric propositions of its fate. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《言语之客》(1947)】 异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 没有性爱神话我们怎么办， 人类遐想还是死亡诗篇？ 月宫捣浆的太监——人生涵盖 生活命题。人类 遐想关乎独处继而 我们编撰这些命题，梦幻破灭， 可怕的失败咒语附体 失败与梦幻并存的恐惧。 全民族都成了诗人去书写 天意这个怪异命题。 【注】儿子虽已外出上大学两年，但其医疗关系仍留在宾州，譬如一年一度的体检或一年两次的洗牙，当然他完全可以随时转到学校所在地，只是目前尚未觉得有这个必要，本周末预约了清理牙齿，因此顺道回家躺平四天。 暑假过半，同期一起实习的外来生正准备打道回府，身为本地生的他也忙于签署大三租约，与来自华盛顿州、康州和加拿大等其他四位同学在学校附近(骑单车四分钟)合租一套五房公寓，由于未来的四位室友还在各自家门口实习，唯一留守纽约的他只能挺身而出，从找房到签约大包大揽，人生首次当家作主令他成就感爆棚。
