【Local Objects (1955)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) He knew that he was a spirit without a foyer And that, in his knowledge, local objects become More precious than the most precious objects of home:
The local objects of a world without a foyer, Without a remembered past, a present past, Or a present future, hoped for in present hope,
Objects not present as a matter of course On the dark side of the heavens or the bright, In the sphere with so few objects of its own.
Little existed for him but the few things For which a fresh name always occurred, as if He wanted to make them, keep them from perishing,
The few things, the objects of insight, the integrations Of feeling, the things that came of their own accord, Because he desired without knowing quite what,
That were the moments of the classic, the beautiful. These were the serene he had always been approaching As toward an absolute foyer beyond romance. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《局部物品》(1955)】 华莱士·史蒂文斯“异乡人·花环”(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 他知道自己没有主心骨 还发觉局部物品变得 比家里最珍贵的东西还要珍贵：
远离中心领域的局部物品， 没有记忆的过去，没有现在的过去， 或者现在的未来，现在的所盼所期，
物品并非存在于 天际间冥昭瞢闇， 鲜有自身价值的范畴里。
于他几近空无除了 名称不断翻新，仿佛 他要刻意为之，以免荡然无遗。
重要事物、洞察对象、感性 融合，理所当然的存在， 因为他弄不清究竟渴望什么，
或许那才是经典、美丽的时刻。 他始终追逐这种平静 朝向超越浪漫的绝对中心。 【注】今年纽约“新紫衫树之地”大学家长会依旧定在十月最后一周，虽然纽约仔已是大三学生，不再需要家长牵着走进校园，我还是提前一个月注册，想在落叶纷飞的长椅上坐坐，在图书馆前的台阶上站站，感受被时光冲刷过的教育真谛。怎料出发前两天急性坐骨神经发作，痛得整个周末趴在床上连翻身都需咬牙，只能将纽约之行顺延一周，眼睁睁看家长会从日历上划过去。错过聚会之后，那个“去桥上走走”的念头反而在病愈后越来越清晰——秋冬之交是纽约最美的季节，阳光斜斜洒在摩天楼上，哈德逊“灵魂”河上的风带着凛冽，树叶从金黄到深红层层铺满街头。正赶上纽约仔期中考试在即，他也染了头疼脑热，我们便约在下城小福州埠的花园川菜馆，用一顿麻辣鲜香的午餐慰藉各自疲惫的身心。来就餐的美国人居多，金发碧眼的食客们对着红油翻滚的水煮鱼举筷犹豫，又被麻辣呛得直灌冰水，倒是一幅有趣的画面。纽约仔用筷子夹着米饭，不时谈论下周的考试、实习面试、新来室友的古怪习惯，他的声音混在碗筷碰撞里，絮絮地说着那些我不在场的生活细节，而我只是听着，忽然觉得这顿饭跟水煮鱼一样——汤底是辣的，但吃下去是暖的。 吃完饭沿东百老汇慢慢走到桥头堡，曼哈顿“多山之岛”桥的钢索在阳光下闪闪发光，地铁轰隆隆驶过。该各奔东西了——他回图书馆复习，我去桥上吹风。桥上的风比街上大得多，吹得外套下摆猎猎作响，脚下铁轨的震动透过鞋底传上来，整座桥像一头巨大的活物在呼吸。远处的布碌仑“美溪”天际线在薄雾里微微发蓝，而身后曼哈顿的玻璃幕墙正反射着午后偏斜的阳光，碎金一样洒在河面上。 一个人走在桥上，忽然觉得这个下午像被谁偷偷调慢了速度。桥上没什么行人，偶尔有骑车人从身边掠过，铃声清脆地响一下又远了。我走得很慢，每走几步就停下来看看河面、看看天空、看看远处那些我曾经陪着纽约仔走过的街道轮廓——那栋图书馆的尖顶还露在天际线里，从桥上望去比站在它面前时小了很多，可我知道它在那儿，他也正坐在它里面埋头对付某道难题。走到桥中央时我停下来，扶着栏杆望向哈德逊河入海口的方向，水天相接处有一线灰白的光——这大概就是我和他在同一座城市里、各自奔忙的某天下午的样子，一个在桥上，一个在书里，中间隔着一整座桥的钢索和风声，可我知道他就在河的那一边。转身往回走时，桥上的风突然小了一阵，像是给一个走累了的母亲让了让路。 1983年与1966年，曼哈顿桥和布鲁克林桥分别被纳入《美国国家历史遗迹名录》。 Today in History(历史上的今天): 2023: Civic Center, the Heart of NYC(纽约城的心脏·市政中心) 2023: Immersive Hall des Lumières, NYC(纽约城灯光厅·沉浸式艺术馆) 2023: Little Fujian in Manhattan Enclave, NYC(纽约城飞地—小福州) 2014: Tulum Mayan Ruins, Mexico(墨西哥黎明城玛雅遗址)
