【8 of 9 Primordia in the Northwest (1917)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

            The black mother of eleven children

            Hangs her quilt under the pine-trees. 

            There is a connection between the colors, 

            The shapes of the patches, 

            And the eleven children…

            Frail princes of distant Monaco, 

            That paragon of a parasol 

            Discloses 

            At least one baby in you.

【《原初之八·西北部》(1917)】

异乡人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

                十一个孩子的黑人母亲

                把被子挂在松树下。

                色彩的关联、

                补丁的形状、

                十一个孩子……

                远方摩纳哥娇弱的王孙，

                阳伞的完美

                显示出

                至少有份爱意。

【注】望八之年的老妈想看海，应届毕业的纽约仔在步入职场前的独立节长周末欣然作陪，于是我们老少三代即刻锁定大西洋城，慕然回首号称世上第一长的木板路(4.2英里/6,759米)，距离上次徜海滨沙滩的场景已七载有余，当年一起来欢度高一高二暑假的青春年少如今正开启人生新篇章。时光飞逝，我们能把握的就是珍惜美好！
