2025-04-19 Easter Eve 
【Song (1916)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) There are great things doing In the world, Little rabbit. There is a damsel, Sweeter than the sound of the willow, Dearer than shallow water Flowing over pebbles. Of a Sunday, She wears a long coat, With twelve buttons on it. Tell that to your mother. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《歌曲》(1916)】 異鄉人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【紅霞譯】 了不起的事風行 整個世界。 寶貝。 有位小姑娘， 比柳笛聲更甜潤， 比淺水漫過鵝卵石 更可貴。 每個星期天， 她身穿長外套， 佩戴十二顆鈕扣。 去告訴你母親吧。 【注】今天是榮耀星期六，經歷完昨天星期五耶穌受難日，紐約各教堂都忙於裝飾聖壇，為明個兒星期天復活節做最後的準備。我從110街2號地鐵站出來，沿着中央公園東北角兜轉步至59街中央公園西南角，耳聞目睹天主教徒聖周的活動： 棕枝主日(Palm Sunday)：耶穌凱旋進入耶路撒冷 聖周一(Holy Monday)：耶穌用鞭子清理聖殿 聖周二(Holy Tuesday)：耶穌在伯大尼“無花果屋”(Bethany)受膏，並在橄欖山上布道 聖灰周三(Spy Wednesday)：耶穌被猶大“讚揚”出賣 聖周四(Holy Thursday)：耶穌舉行最後的晚餐，在客西馬尼“橄欖榨機”園(Gethsemane)祈禱並被捕 耶穌受難日(Good Friday)：耶穌被判處死刑，遭受鞭打、毆打、釘死在十字架上 聖周六(Holy Saturday)：耶穌被埋葬在墳墓中並降入地獄 復活節主日(Easter Sunday)：耶穌從死里復活
總之，充滿着崇敬和反思的心態理解生活。
