【Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction—It Must Be Abstract·III (1942)】
Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) The poem refreshes life so that we share, For a moment, the first idea… It satisfies Belief in an immaculate beginning
And sends us, winged by an unconscious will, To an immaculate end. We move between these points: From that ever-early candor to its late plural
And the candor of them is the strong exhilaration Of what we feel from what we think, of thought Beating in the heart, as if blood newly came,
An elixir, an excitation, a pure power. The poem, through candor, brings back a power again That gives a candid kind to everything.
We say: At night an Arabian in my room, With his damned hoobla-hoobla-hoobla-how, Inscribes a primitive astronomy
Across the unscrawled fores the future casts And throws his stars around the floor. By day The wood-dove used to chant his hoobla-hoo
And still the grossest iridescence of ocean Howls hoo and rises and howls hoo and falls. Life's nonsense pierces us with strange relation. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《最高虚构笔记——它必定抽象·之三》(1942年)】 异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 诗歌改善生活促使我们分享, 此时此刻,最初的观念……坚定 美好愿景的信念
并传递给我们,乘着潜意识的翅膀, 直到圆满结束。我们一步步走来: 从早期的率真到晚期的婉转
其中蕴涵的率真成就最精彩的自己 所思必有所悟,所悟 带来心灵的涤荡,犹如一股新鲜血液,
一剂灵丹妙药,一场激情绽放,一种纯朴力量。 诗歌,渲染率真,再平添一手本领 对一切坦诚相待。
比方说:晚上阿拉伯月球天文学家来我家, 用他那呼卟啦-—呼卟啦-—呼卟啦-—之类的死灵术, 题写远古天文学
字迹潦草的场景规划 把行星散布地板上。到了白天 野鸽时常吟唱呼卟啦—呼
依旧浓重的彩虹色海洋 咆哮声忽而高昂忽而低沉。 生活的荒谬奇异般刺穿我们。 【注】“数人世相逢,百年欢笑,能得几回又。” 我们的相识是从宾州光华中文学校开始的,记得2009年秋季孩子们正值学前班年龄,每周星期天下午送娃学中文的时候我顺便结识了不少同学的爸妈。不久,大家还轮流做起了家长代表,孩子们在教室里上课,我们在课堂外拉呱聊天,这样一来二去都混熟了,再加上学校或班级离不开家长的参与及互动,在壁报比赛、演讲比赛、春节联欢会、春秋季运动会、课外郊游等活动中,我们义务出任辅导员、评审员、教练员、裁判员、服务员、策划员……之后,我们共同节日聚会、先后庆生爬梯、一起结伴出行,彼此很快成了无所不谈的朋友。友情是一种珍贵的情感,相互陪伴让岁月多了一份静好。 Today in History(历史上的今天):
