【The Man with the Blue Guitar·XXXIII (1937)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

            That generation's dream, aviled

            In the mud, in Monday's dirty light,

            That's it, the only dream they knew,

            Time in its final block, not time

            To come, a wrangling of two dreams.

            Here is the bread of time to come,

            Here is its actual stone. The bread

            Will be our bread, the stone will be

            Our bed and we shall sleep by night.

            We shall forget by day, except

            The moments when we choose to play

            The imagined pine, the imagined jay.

【《弹蓝色吉他的人》之卅三(1937年)】

异乡人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

            那一代人的梦想，消逝

            在泥潭中，周一暗淡的灯光下，

            就这样，尽其所知的唯一梦想，

            终极一刻，并非

            未来之时，两个梦想的角逐。

            将来的面包，

            真实的石头。面包

            我们果腹之食，石头

            我们夜晚安歇之地。

            白昼我们遗忘，除了

            每当决定弹奏

            想象的热望松，虚幻的冠蓝鸦。

【注】宾州学院镇(Collegeville)虽说小众院校层见迭出，但最为耀眼的却是享誉全球的辉瑞(Pfizer)、葛兰素史克(GSK)以及陶氏化学(Dow Chemical)等三大企业所在地，这里不仅有新冠肺炎病毒疫苗新锐保留的数据分析部门，更有国际性制药大咖开设的研发机构，甚至包括化工试剂、橡胶塑料、合成纤维和农产品供应商引入的主要生产线，自有“堆金积玉夸豪毅”的致富渠道。

浑水村(Perkiomen)位于费城至红人城(Reading)铁路线上，是20世纪60年代贫瘠镇(Limerick)的工业中心，兴盛一时的王者荣耀酿酒厂(Kinseys Distillery)、美国卫浴公司(Sanitary Corporation of America)和自信面粉厂(Trinley Mill)均源于此地。

吊索村(Schwenksville)属于下苍天镇(Lower Providence)，正因紧靠费城民俗节(Philadelphia Folk Festival)的举办地而广为当地人所知。另外，它距离世界最大的默克(Merck)疫苗生产基地——西点(West Point)只有15分钟的车程，所以实为默克制药公司的“家属院”。

以下便是上述各地大多已载入《国家史迹名录》(Natl. Register of Historic Places)的人文景观。
