【The Man with the Blue Guitar·XXVIII (1937)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) I am a native in this world And think in it as a native thinks,
Gesu, not native of a mind Thinking the thoughts I call my own,
Native, a native in the world And like a native think in it.
It could not be a mind, the wave In which the watery grasses flow
And yet are fixed as a photograph, The wind in which the dead leaves blow.
Here I inhale profounder strength And as I am, I speak and move
And things are as I think they are And say they are on the blue guitar. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《彈藍色吉他的人》之廿八(1937年)】 異鄉人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【紅霞譯】 我生長在這個世界, 如同世人一樣思想,
天哪,並非源於心靈 琢磨我自身的想法,
純粹地道,生長在這個世界 如同世人一樣思想。
算不上一種心靈,波浪 水草隨之自由流動
卻像照片定格的畫面, 枯萎的落葉在水中飄零。
由此我汲取智慧的力量 其實,我就是我。
事情就像我想的那樣 都在藍色吉他上。 【注】極富魔力的綠地村曾經擁有紐約市最大的非裔群體,後來隨着德國、法國、愛爾蘭以及緊鄰中國城的意大利移民進駐,逐漸改變了這一地區政治與文化格局。華盛頓廣場正置綠地村中央,紐約市第一個社區組織恰好為了創立華盛頓(意指“睿智農家”)廣場公園而建,從地理位置上來看,華盛頓廣場介於第五大道富裕階層和曼哈頓(意指“弓城”)下城貧困領地之間,是紐約著名的聚會場所和文化活動中心,。 紐約大學有以下5所本科學院及其學生住宅和生活設施散落在華盛頓廣場公園周邊綠樹成蔭的街道上: 文理學院(College of Arts & Science) “天青”個人學習學院(Gallatin School of Individualized Study) “石堅”文化、教育和人類發展學院(Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development) “明星”商學院(Stern School of Business) “桌子”藝術學院(Tisch School of Arts)
