【The Sense of the Sleight-of-Hand Man (1923)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) One's grand flights, one's Sunday baths, One's tootings at the weddings of the soul Occur as they occur. So bluish clouds Occurred above the empty house and the leaves Of the rhododendrons rattled their gold, As if someone lived there. Such floods of white Came bursting from the clouds. So the wind Threw its contorted strength around the sky.
Could you have said the bluejay suddenly Would swoop to earth? It is a wheel, the rays Around the sun. The wheel survives the myths. The fire eye in the clouds survives the gods. To think of a dove with an eye of grenadine And pines that are cornets, so it occurs, And a little island full of geese and stars: It may be the ignorant man, alone, Has any chance to mate his life with life That is the sensual, pearly spuse, the life That is fluent in even the wintriest bronze. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《魔術師的靈感》(1923)】 異鄉人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【紅霞譯】 人的奇思妙想,人的周日沐浴, 人在精神婚姻上的高談闊論 該來就來。那麼藍的雲朵 出現在空蕩的房上而枝葉 讓杜鵑花揮灑金光, 好像有人住在那兒一樣。白花激流 從雲中湧出。於是風 將其扭曲的力量拋向天空。
你能說冠藍鴉突然 會俯衝到地上?輻條,光線 圍繞太陽。輪子讓神話生還。 雲中火眼比眾神長久。 想到長有石榴紅眼睛的鴿子 還有發着短號聲的松樹,於是出現, 遍地母鵝滿目星辰的小島: 也許是無知者,獨自一人, 有機會讓其同類與感性生活 相結合,珍珠般伴侶,生活 即使冷若青銅也順暢通達。 【注】北非的摩洛哥“神地”與南歐的西班牙狗島(Canary Is)和葡萄牙森林島(Madeira Is)一直是我嚮往的去處,跟熟識40餘年的學姐衛真暢敘心懷,想不到一拍即合,有錢有閒有心的閨蜜就這麼任性!於是,我倆從加州和賓州分頭行動,約好在意大利羅馬“力量”會合,然後再乘坐“大洋·碼頭”號遊輪(Oceania Marina)開啟23天兩條航線第一段行程——北非神地與南歐狗島奇妙之旅。 全權委託遊輪操持往返機票,結果到手的不是直飛,而是從美東費城“手足之愛”取道加拿大蒙特利爾“皇山”轉去羅馬古城港(Civitavecchia)登船。疫情後飛機晚點是家常便飯,對之我做好拉練的心理準備。今天下午,儘管加拿大航空始發飛機早已就位多時,但因為歸航機組遲到,由費城前往蒙特利爾“皇家山”的班機晚點起飛一個多鐘頭,好在仁義地余出將近50分鐘足已讓我遊刃於蒙特利爾國內和國際航站樓之間,等狂奔集結到聯運登機口處正巧趕上排長龍檢票。 Today in History(歷史上的今天): 2019: 第17屆大費城地區美中藥協年會(17th Annual Conference of SAPA-GP) PHL (費城國際機場 05-31-2024)
