【The Poems of Our Climate - I (1942)】
Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)
Clear water in a brilliant bowl,
Pink and white carnations. The light
In the room more like a snowy air,
Reflecting snow. A newly-fallen snow
At the end of winter when afternoons return.
Pink and white carnations – one desires
So much more than that. The day itself
Is simplified: a bowl of white,
Cold, a cold porcelain, low and round,
With nothing more than the carnations there.

【《我们的倾向组诗·之一》(1942)】
异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)
【红霞译】
绚丽的碗中盛着清水，
粉妆白晰的康乃馨。光线
在房间里近似雪花般的空气，
反射着雪。刚下的新雪
重又出现在冬末的下午。
粉妆白晰的康乃馨——人的欲望
远不止于此。时日本身
无外乎：一碗白色、
清凉、冷脆、扁圆、
除了康乃馨别无其它。
【注】继米其林三星法国洗衣店(French Laundry)之后，主厨“双·酒窖主”(Thomas Keller)又开设的另一家米其林三星法式餐厅——“本身”，该主厨因此而成为唯一一位因其两家餐厅获得米其林三颗星(最高评价)的美国厨师。
餐厅印象：由著名餐厅设计师“大地·沉默者”(Adam D. Tihany)策画，环境奢华而低调，深藏于德意志银行购物中心四楼，温馨宁静并可欣赏中央公园和鸽子环岛(Columbus Circle)的景色。
