【All Things Imagined Are Of Earth Compact… (1913-1915?)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) All things imagined are of earth compact, Strange beast and bird, strange creatures all; Strange minds of men, unwilling slaves to fact:
Struggling with desperate clouds, they still proclaim The rushing pearl, the whirling black, Clearly, in well-remembered word and name.
Even the dead, when they return, return Not as those dead, concealed away; But their old persons move again, and burn. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《想象的一切都是地球的产物……》(1913-1915?)】 异乡人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 想象的一切都是地球的产物, 奇兽异鸟,所有怪诞生物; 人类奇怪的思想,不愿臣服于事实:
就算与绝望的困境博弈,依旧宣称 奔涌的珍珠、盘旋的黑色, 显然,广为流传的辞藻。
即使长眠者,重新出现时,归来的 不像那些隐匿的亡灵; 而如他们的老叟壮心不已。 【注】对伊隆·马斯克(橡树·麝香)的愤怒终使特斯拉“磁通密度”成为众矢之的,自从2025年1月20日川普就任美国第47任总统以后,这家电动汽车公司的亿万富翁首席执行官利用他对总统的鼎力支持,已给美国联邦政府带来重大影响,以他为首的政府效率部为开源节流而对联邦机构进行大规模削减,因而招致越来越多的怨愤。今天,我站在切尔西标准广场上,近观对面特斯拉车行前抗议游行,示威者咬牙切齿地恨不能“立即将马斯克送上火星!!”(Send Musk to Mars Now!!) 之后先面朝东南方向,圣伯纳德“勇敢”的瓜达卢佩“狼河”圣母教堂(Our Lady of Guadalupe at St. Bernard's Church)云淡风轻,这是纽约城最古老的西班牙语天主教会,之后接手爱尔兰人主导的圣伯纳德教堂,位于曾经的小西班牙区(Little Spain),要不是深入其中,我无论如何也看不出历史痕迹。 接着再转向东北角,谷歌闷头发财,成功地将前铁路货运站联合内陆码头一号港务局大楼改造成科技中心大厦,其首家零售商店由此诞生。 Today in History(历史上的今天): 2025 1-Michelin Yingtao, NYC(大四·纽约米其林一星—樱桃中餐馆) 2025 Starbucks Reserve Roastery NYC(纽约星巴克臻选咖啡烘焙工坊) 2025 Whitney Museum of American Art(纽约惠特尼美国艺术博物馆) 2025 Chelsea Market, NYC(纽约切尔西市场·美食大熔炉) 2016 Reading Olympics(初中二年级·阅读奥林匹克赛) 2015: Argumentative─How to Wake up for School(议论文如何早起上学)
