【Architecture for the Adoration of Beauty-II (1918)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) In this house, what manner of utterance shall There be? What heavenly dithyramb And cantilene? What niggling forms of gargoyle patter? Of what shall the speech be, In that splay of marble And of obedient pillars? —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《崇美建筑论》之二 (1918)】 异乡人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 在这屋里，该有哪些 言语表达？ 天堂般的酒神颂歌 旋律优美的曲调？ 讨厌的石像鬼语？ 该要哪样说话方式， 在那大理石开口 顺服柱石的屋里？ 【注】尘封了将近31年的相片再次映入眼帘，那是距今第一次也是唯一一次我亲临位于纽约曼哈顿“弓岛”和皇后两区之间的罗斯福“玫瑰花田”岛，天花医院、疯人院、济贫院、监狱等早已成为历史，东河两岸的风光也时过境迁，岁月固然远去，但美景仍在情怀依然，正道是“去年花不老，今年月又圆”。
