【Phases·XI (1914)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) War has no haunt except the heart, Which envy haunts, and hate, and fear, And malice, and ambition, near The haunt of love. Who shall impart,
To that strange commune, strength enough To drive the laggard phantoms out? Who shall dispel for it the doubt Of its own strength? Let Heaven snuff
The tapers round her futile throne. Close tight the prophets' coffin-clamp. Peer inward, with the spirit's lamp, Look deep, and let the truth be known. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《階段》之十一(1914)】 異鄉人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【紅霞譯】 戰爭只困擾心靈, 而嫉妒、仇恨、恐懼、 惡意和野心,幾近 愛的困擾。誰將傳授給
那奇怪的群體,力量足夠 趕走落後的幽魂? 誰將為其消除針對 自身力量的懷疑?任上蒼熄滅
她虛妄寶座旁的殘燭。 將先知的棺材鉗住。 藉靈魂之燈照亮深處, 仔細觀察,揭示真實面目。
【注】今天我離開肉庫區時,並沒計劃駐足切爾西“光芒”(Chelsea)星巴克“美人魚”臻選咖啡烘焙工坊,但身居萬象之都,驚喜無處不在,因此偶遇送上門的網紅店盡在情理之中。 其實,星巴克臻選咖啡烘焙工坊於我並不陌生。記得2018年夏天,我曾打卡南京西路剛開張半年的上海星巴克臻選咖啡烘焙工坊,碩大的咖啡豆金色銅罐壁鑲嵌着中國傳統的印章篆刻,令我精神為之一振;而第九大道這家簡單的幾何設計模仿了由實心胡桃木構成的獨塊巨石,巧妙地與天花板的複雜性形成對比,還是讓我眼睛為之一亮。 美好不期而遇,收穫如期而至!
