【The Auroras of Autumn·VII (1948)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) Is there an imagination that sits enthroned As grim as it is benevolent, the just And the unjust, which in the midst of summer stops
To imagine winter? When the leaves are dead, Does it take its place in the north and enfold itself, Goat-leaper, crystalled and luminous, sitting
In highest night? And do these heavens adorn And proclaim it, the white creator of black, jetted By extinguishings, even of planets as may be,
Even of earth, even of sight, in snow, Except as needed by way of majesty, In the sky, as crown and diamond cabala?
It leaps through us, through all our heavens leaps, Extinguishing our planets, one by one, Leaving, of where we were and looked, of where
We knew each other and of each other thought, A shivering residue, chilled and foregone, Except for that crown and mystical cabala.
But it dare not leap by chance in its own dark. It must change from destiny to slight caprice. And thus its jetted tragedy, its stele
And shape and mournful making move to find What must unmake it and, at last, what can, Say, a flippant communication under the moon. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《秋天的極光·之七》(1948年)】 華萊士·史蒂文斯“異鄉人·花環”(1879生—1955卒) 【紅霞譯】 是否有一種想象坐擁 冷酷與仁慈,正義 與非正義,不惜在仲夏
想象冬天?葉子枯凋的時候, 它是否呆在北方圍成一團, 摩羯座,晶瑩閃爍,停落
在最深的黑夜?難道這些天堂粉飾 並昭告天下,玄色的白造物主,噴刷 黑暗,甚而包括行星,
乃至地球,還有景象,白雪皚皚的世界, 除非威嚴所需, 天空中,顯示皇冠和鑽石奧秘?
它躍過我們,穿越所有的天堂, 讓行星熄滅,一顆接着一顆, 絕塵離去,大家居住的家園,彼此相識的
故土和我們思想的地方, 破碎的殘餘,變得冰冷而被遺忘, 除了皇冠和鑽石奧秘。
但不敢趁黑夜偶然地雀躍。 它必須把天意改得任性一點。 於是噴刷慘劇、碑石
形狀和悲傷行為去尋找 破壞它的東西,最終,真的能夠, 這麼說,月光下草率的溝通。 【注】紐約大學家庭周末(10/21/2022—10/23/2022)後記 在美國,紐約大學並非屬於唯一沒有圍牆的大學,但絕對算得上最為奇葩的校園,因為置身教學樓內外,你不僅能聞到唐人街意大利城飄進的飯香,而且還可嗅出華爾街金融區刮來的銅臭,在校生的臉上總是洋溢着百老匯式歡快的喜悅。 今年八月,文理學院首開先河,將“難為”想學醫的本科生、現年84歲有機化學教授小梅特蘭·瓊斯“草甸·神慈之子”(Maitland Jones Jr.)掃地出門,學生想拿文憑的願望與教師把握教育的尺度在高昂學費的天平上終於失衡,由此展開人性與現實的辯論。 如今人們擁有無限的需求,但滿足這種需求的資源極其有限,於是勢必要面臨選擇,而選擇的結果就是在追求某些事情的同時必須放棄其它。
