【The Man with the Blue Guitar·VI (1937)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) A tune beyond us as we are, Yet nothing changed by the blue guitar;
Ourselves in the tune as if in space, Yet nothing changed, except the place
Of things as they are and only the place As you play them, on the blue guitar,
Placed, so, beyond the compass of change, Perceived in a final atmosphere;
For a moment final, in the way The thinking of art seems final when
The thinking of god is smoky dew. The tune is space. The blue guitar
Becomes the place of things as they are, A composing of senses of the guitar. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《弹蓝色吉他的人》之六(1937年)】 异乡人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 旋律超越我们的本来样子， 与蓝色吉他并无任何关系；
想象的自己恍如真实的我们， 并无任何关系，除了位置
事物依旧如故，唯有 弹拨的琴弦，蓝色吉他上，
曲声流淌，胜过变换的音域， 感觉恍入终极境地；
刹那间，整个 艺术构思仿佛至臻完美。
恰逢神意震撼人心。 曲调空灵悠远。蓝色吉他
事物的原来样子， 吉他的情感寄托。 【注】宾州河汊郡(Lehigh County)是水泥原料的天然产地，水泥由石灰、二氧化硅和氧化铝三种成分制成，而当地盛产富含这些化合物的石灰石，可谓名副其实的“水泥岩”。
地处河汊流域的同步水泥公司(Coplay Cement Company)九座水泥窑建于1892—1893年，用来生产最常见的硅酸盐水泥——波特兰(意指“港口陆域”)(Portland Cement)牌水泥；截至1900年为止，美国72%的港口陆域水泥产品来自这里，但后来因加工燃料耗费过高，竞争不过成本低廉的回转窑，终于1904年关闭。目前，同步水泥厂窑所在地又被称作船工公园工业博物馆(Saylor Park Industrial Museum)，成为《国家史迹名录》(Natl. Register of Historic Places)中独居特色的露天历史遗址。
