【Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction—It Must Chang·II (1942)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

        The President ordains the bee to be

        Immortal. The President ordains. But does

        The body lift its heavy wing, take up,

        Again, an inexhaustible being, rise

        Over the loftiest antagonist

        To drone the green phrases of its juvenal?

        Why should the bee recapture a lost blague,

        Find a deep echo in a horn and buzz

        The bottomless trophy, new hornsman after old?

        The President has apples on the table

        And barefoot servants round him, who adjust

        The curtains to a metaphysical t

        And the banners of the nation flutter, burst

        On the flag-poles in a red-blue dazzle, whack

        At the halyards. Why, then, when in golden fury

        Spring vanishes the scraps of winter, why

        Should there be a question of returning or

        Of death in memory’s dream? Is spring a sleep?

        This warmth is for lovers at last accomplishing

        Their love, this beginning, not resuming, this

        Booming and booming of the new-come bee.

【红霞译】

             总统主宰蜜蜂

             长生不老。总统颁发命令。但是否

             肌体张开沉重的翅膀，举起，

             再一次，不知疲倦的家伙，升腾

             超越最骄傲的对手

             招致苍白的词语嗡嗡作响？

             为什么蜜蜂要重温失落的玩笑，

             从号角中找到强烈回音并旋绕

             深不见底的战利品，新老号手交替？

             总统把苹果摆置桌上

             叫赤脚仆人围聚身边，将

             窗帘调到完美极致的t

             让民族的旗帜飘扬，并闪现

             在红蓝耀眼的旗杆上，敲打

             升降吊索。为什么，既然如此，黄金怒火中

             春天带走了冬天的残迹，为什么

             总有再次回归的可能或者

             记忆梦境的死亡？难道春天就是睡一觉吗？

             这份温暖只为有情人终成

             眷属，由此开始，而不是重新来过，这段

             吟唱与新来的蜜蜂和鸣。

【注】和平使者上镇地处我家西边，大约相距40多分钟的车程，跟我去东南角的费城所花的功夫差不多，但远离都市的乡间村落“浮云堆白玉，落日泻黄金”，足以让人享受田野与苍天之间的逍遥。

和平使者上镇是宾州德国移民最老的社区之一。自1967年以来，每年八月的第二个周末星期五和星期六两天这里都要举行富足之地民俗节(Goschenhoppen Folk Festival)，藉之推广其民族的物质文化、民间信仰、日常起居以及生活习俗。本来我只想浏览一下建于1736年的水流族殖民式建筑——掌门者·花之家(Henry Antes Moravian Settlement House)，却意外地赶上了民俗节收尾清理，主办方偶遇今天像我这样脸冒蒸汽专程前来打卡的忠粉惊讶不已，不仅网开一面让我随意参观，并且还要通知我每月的历史文化专题讨论进展，而我眼下当务之急则是好好体验旧时的精彩。Experience Yesterday Today!

以下大多建筑被列入《国家史迹名录》(Natl. Register of Historic Places)。
