【Esthétique du Mal·II (1945)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) At a town in which acacias grew, he lay On his balcony at night. Warblings became Too dark, too far, too much the accents of Afflicted sleep, too much the syllables That would form themselves, in time, and communicate The intelligence of his despair, express What meditation never quite achieved.
The moon rose up as if it had escaped His meditation. It evaded his mind. It was part of a supremacy always Above him. The moon was always free from him, As night was free from him. The shadow touched Or merely seemed to touch him as he spoke A kind of elegy he found in space:
It is pain that is indifferent to the sky In spite of the yellow of the acacias, the scent Of them in the air still hanging heavily In the hoary-hanging night. It does not regard This freedom, this supremacy, and in Its own hallucination never sees How that which rejects it saves it in the end. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《恶之美学·之二》(1945年)】 异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 金合欢成林的小镇，他躺在 夜晚的阳台上。莺鸣变得 太沉、太远，太杂的声调 影响睡眠，太多的音节 形成关联，最后，传达 他绝望的信息，抒发 沉思无法实现的愿望。
月亮升起好像早已逃出 他的沉思。回避他的想法。 始终少不了至尊无双 凌驾于他之上。月亮一直躲着他， 随着夜晚离他远去。唯有影子相伴 或者仅仅陪他吟诵 宇宙中获取的挽歌：
面对苍天冷漠疏离的痛苦 不管金合欢的黄色如何，花香 浓郁地弥漫着空气 在发灰的夜晚。没有认同 这种自由，这种至尊无双，况且单凭 臆想永远无法理解 排斥的痛苦最终如何得以解除。 【注】这首诗歌描述在太空中找到挽歌的济慈式诗人；而以下相片则是关于南智城街区——全世界铸铁(Cast-Iron)建筑最多的历史保留地，后由厂房改造成艺术家阁楼或称车间(Lofts)式画廊。 1978年，南智城历史街区被纳入《美国国家历史遗迹名录》。
