【Forms of the Rock in a Night-Hymn (1954)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) The rock is the gray particular of man's life, The stone from which he rises, up - and - ho, The step to the bleaker depths of his descents...
The rock is the stern particular of the air, The mirror of the planets, one by one, But through man's eye, their silent rhapsodist,
Turquoise the rock, at odious evening bright With redness that sticks fast to evil dreams; The difficult rightness of half-risen day.
The rock is the habitation of the whole, Its strength and measure, that which is near, point A In a perspective that begins again
At B: the origin of the mango's rind. It is the rock where tranquil must adduce Its tranquil self, the main of things, the mind,
The starting point of the human and the end. That in which space itself is contained, the gate To the enclosure, day, the things illumined
By day, night and that which night illumines, Night and its midnight-minting fragrances, Night's hymn of the rock, as in a vivid sleep. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《夜歌中岩石的形態》(1954)】 華萊士·史蒂文斯“異鄉人·花環”(1879生—1955卒) 【紅霞譯】 岩石呈人生的灰質特徵, 他從上面站起來的石頭,嚯, 通往無盡深淵的台階……
岩石呈空氣的嚴肅特徵, 行星之鏡,一顆接着一顆, 但通過人的眼睛,沉默的狂詩家,
岩石呈藍綠色,在討厭的夜晚 明亮帶着紅色緊隨惡夢; 黎明時難以辨別。
岩石是整個的居所, 其力量和尺度都在附近,A點 遠景重新開始於
B點:芒果皮的源頭。 岩石恰置必須喚起 寧靜的地方,事物的主體,心靈,
人類的起點和終點。 包容着空間本身,通向 緊閉的大門,白日,光明照亮的
事物,夜晚及其黑暗籠罩的東西, 深宵散發的芬芳, 岩石的夜歌,一如在生動的睡眠里。 【注】“哥倫布公園在哪?”我手握定位失靈的谷歌導航,站在運河街與百老匯交道口,把目光投向眼前正熱情指揮早高峰過往行人、看似印度裔的交通警身上。 “你找孫中山?”他會意地笑着問。 我喜出望外!按照活地圖的指示,我不僅見着了中華民國的開國元勛,而且還遇到了春秋時期的孔老夫子,並重新走進了既熟悉又陌生位於曼哈頓下城的華埠及小意大利城。 最近離家較近的費城華埠開了一家連鎖店——“江南”中餐館,自稱演繹出傳統與創新融合的美食交響曲,對吳地一帶江南菜系情有獨鐘的我來說,這次北上紐約正想領略“江南”大本營正宗的徐海、淮揚、金陵和蘇幫等風味,哪怕浙菜或徽菜也成。不出所料地,“江南”中餐館只是儒雅別號而非特色烹飪,它側重的融合多於傳統,譬如:北京烤鴨、四川水煮魚、新疆孜然羊、廣東白切雞等非江南風味特色菜引領菜譜食潮流,歸根結底“江南”中餐館以市場需求為導向,誰叫正宗的蘇菜響油鱔糊無法打動紐約仔的味蕾呢? 2010年,華埠與小意大利城被納入《美國國家歷史遺蹟名錄》。 Today in History(歷史上的今天): 2023: The World Is A Commonwealth, NYC(紐約城中華公所·天下為公) 2023: Line of Phantasy in Chinatown, NYC(紐約城·唐人街虛擬線條) 2023: A Beacon for the Catholic Faithful, NYC(紐約城天主教的燈塔) 2023: Museum @ Eldridge Street, NYC(紐約埃爾德里奇街博物館·猶太教堂) 2023: Biggest Chinese Catholic Church in US(全美最大的華人天主教堂) 2023: Mahayana Temple in the Great Vehicle, NYC(紐約大乘·佛教寺) 2023: Times Sq, the World Crossroads NYC(紐約時代廣場·世界十字路口) 2023: Yuletide Merriment @ Mid-Town, NYC(紐約中城·聖誕喜樂) 2023: St. Bartholomew's Church, NYC(紐約聖巴塞洛繆教堂·聖公會) 2023: St. Patrick's Cathedral, Largest in US(紐約聖帕特里克大教堂) 2023: Christmas Tree @ Rockefeller Ctr NYC(紐約洛克菲勒中心·聖誕樹) 2023: Dior's Carousel of Dreams, NYC(紐約城·金色夢想轉盤) 2016: Argumentative─For the Flavor(議論文─利益) 2013: Top of the World, Dubai, UAE(阿聯酋迪拜世界之巔) 2010: 自己的事自己做(DIY) Columbus Park, Transformed Mulberry Bend from a 'Notorious Slum' to Improve the Quality of Life in the Neighborhood
