2024-03-10 Laetare Sunday (4th Sunday in Lent) 
【Large Red Man Reading (1950)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) There were ghosts that returned to earth to hear his phrases, As he sat there reading, aloud, the great blue tabulae. They were those from the wilderness of stars that had expected more.
There were those that returned to hear him read from the poem of life, Of the pans above the stove, the pots on the table, the tulips among them. They were those that would have wept to step barefoot into reality,
That would have wept and been happy, have shivered in the frost And cried out to feel it again, have run fingers over leaves And against the most coiled thorn, have seized on what was ugly
And laughed, as he sat there reading, from out of the purple tabulae, The outlines of being and its expressings, the syllables of its law: Poesis, poesis, the literal characters, the vatic lines,
Which in those ears and in those thin, those spended hearts, Took on color, took on shape and the size of things as they are And spoke the feeling for them, which was what they had lacked. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《大红人朗读》(1950)】 异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 幽灵回到尘世要听他说话， 当他坐在那儿高声朗读蓝色名著。 牠们就是出自星辰荒野有着太多期盼的家伙。
有些来听他朗读生命的诗篇， 关乎炉顶的平底锅、桌上的罐子、其中的郁金香。 牠们就是哭着赤脚走进现实的家伙，
会破涕为笑，在霜冻中发抖 并疾呼要再次感受，用手指抚过树叶 抵抗最捆缚的荆棘，抓住丑陋的东西
大笑起来，当他坐在那儿从紫色书籍读出， 对存在及其表达的描述，格律的音节： 韵文、创作、字符、预言似的诗行，
在牠们的耳朵里乃至单薄的身躯，牠们倦乏的内心， 呈现色彩，呈现事物本来的形状和大小 并为牠们道出感觉，而这正是牠们所缺乏的。 【注】今天是天主教大斋期的第四个礼拜天——欢喜主日，被视为耶稣复活的期待日，美国最知名的高贵圣徒大教堂(St. Patrick's Cathedral)内座无虚席，参加圣祭的教徒们追忆基督逾越髑髅山(Calvary)的圣死，并期待祂在三个礼拜后的今天(3/31/24)喜乐荣光地复活；象征着希望和欢乐的玫瑰色代替了象征忏悔的紫色，司铎祭披和教堂帷幔也都主打粉红色彩。 Today in History(历史上的今天):
