【Carnet de Voyage III·Here the Grass Grows (1914)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

                Here the grass grows,

                And the wind blows,

                And in the stream, 

                Small fishes gleam,

                Blood-red and hue

                Of shadowy blue,

                And amber sheen,

                And water-green,

                And yellow flash,

                And diamond ash.

                And the grass grows,

                And the wind blows.

【《旅行日誌之三·這裡青草茂盛》(1914)】

異鄉人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【紅霞譯】

                這裡青草茂盛，

                而風兒吹拂，

                溪流中，

                小魚游動，

                血紅色伴以

                暗藍的色調，

                以及琥珀的光澤，

                還有水綠色，

                連同發黃的閃電，

                甚至鑽石的灰燼。

                青草又茂盛，

                而風兒吹拂。

【注】2024年白晝最短的今天，家門口下起了本季首場小雪，給冬日披上一身銀裝、一片純淨；而一年一度蒙哥馬利“巨人山”村(Montgomery Twp)傳統的聖誕親民警車鳴笛加爆閃巡遊小區，為節日帶來一聲祝福、一抹溫情。
