【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. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《彈藍色吉他的人》之卅三(1937年)】 異鄉人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【紅霞譯】 那一代人的夢想,消逝 在泥潭中,周一暗淡的燈光下,
就這樣,盡其所知的唯一夢想, 終極一刻,並非
未來之時,兩個夢想的角逐。 將來的麵包,
真實的石頭。麵包 我們果腹之食,石頭
我們夜晚安歇之地。 白晝我們遺忘,除了
每當決定彈奏 想象的熱望松,虛幻的冠藍鴉。 【注】賓州學院鎮(Collegeville)雖說小眾院校層見迭出,但最為耀眼的卻是享譽全球的輝瑞(Pfizer)、葛蘭素史克(GSK)以及陶氏化學(Dow Chemical)等三大企業所在地,這裡不僅有新冠肺炎病毒疫苗新銳保留的數據分析部門,更有國際性製藥大咖開設的研發機構,甚至包括化工試劑、橡膠塑料、合成纖維和農產品供應商引入的主要生產線,自有“堆金積玉夸豪毅”的致富渠道。 珀基奧門“蔓越莓之地”(Perkiomen)位於費城至雷丁“紅人城”(Reading)鐵路線上,是20世紀60年代利默里克“多石之地”(Limerick)的工業中心,興盛一時的金賽“王者榮耀”釀酒廠(Kinseys Distillery)、美國衛浴公司(Sanitary Corporation of America)和特林利“自信”麵粉廠(Trinley Mill)均源於此地。 施文克斯維爾“來回擺動村”(Schwenksville)屬於下普羅維登斯“神聖天意鎮”(Lower Providence),正因緊靠費城民俗節(Philadelphia Folk Festival)的舉辦地而廣為當地人所知。另外,它距離世界最大的默克“邊界”(Merck)疫苗生產基地——西點(West Point)只有15分鐘的車程,所以實為默克製藥公司的“家屬院”。 以下便是上述各地大多已載入《國家史跡名錄》的人文景觀。 Today in History(歷史上的今天): 2015: Santorini the Circle of Life, Greece(希臘和平女神島生命輪迴) 2014: Ocean City, MD(馬里蘭州海洋城) Collegeville Plaque (學院鎮牌)
