【Six Significant Landscapes·IV (1916)】
Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)
When my dream was near the moon,
The white folds of its gown
Filled with yellow light.
The soles of its feet
Grew red.
Its hair filled
With certain blue crystallizations
From stars,
Not far off.

异乡人?史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)
【红霞译】
当我的梦想接近月亮，
它那长袍的白色皱褶
遍布黄色光芒。
它那双脚底
变得通红。
它那头发挂满
某种蓝色晶莹
距离群星，
并不遥远。
【注】统帅·“商人”(Henry C. Mercer，1856—1930年)虽然毕业于宾州大学法学院，但从未以律师为职业；之后周游世界数载，德国红河(Ruhr River)一带的文化让他眼界大开，除了收集各国文物珍宝，在宾州黑镇(Doylestown)自己的家乡创建“水流陶艺及瓷砖工坊”和“‘商人’博物馆”的同时，还打造出眼前这座非同凡响的水泥别墅——“永衡山丘城堡”，其中包括44房间：10浴室、5睡房、18壁炉，200多不同大小的窗户。另外，“商人”打了一辈子光棍，平常与管家及其丈夫三人共享永衡山丘城堡。
