【Farewell to Florida·II (1935)】
Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)
Her mind had bound me round. The palms were hot
As if I lived in ashen ground, as if
The leaves in which the wind kept up its sound
From my North of cold whistled in a sepulchral South,
Her South of pine and coral and coraline sea,
Her home, not mine, in the ever-freshened Keys,
Her days, her oceanic nights, calling
For music, for whisperings from the reefs.
How content I shall be in the North to which I sail
And to feel sure and to forget the bleaching sand…
—— ? —— ? —— ? —— ? —— ? —— ? —— ? ——
异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)
【红霞译】
她的思想束缚了我。手心灼热
宛若我置身灰烬,仿佛
树叶伴随狂风
从我寒冷的北方呼啸阴沉的南方,
她那松树、珊瑚和海妖的南方,
她的家园,不是我的,在永远清新的小岛屿上,
她的每一天,她的无垠黑夜,呼唤着
音乐,礁石的轻吟。
我该满足航行的北方
并有把握忘却晒白的沙子……
【注】藉为本周暑假返乡的大二学生接风洗尘,我们破天荒跑去东北费(Northeast Philadelphia)打卡全费城最大的中餐馆——金鼎海鲜酒家,往返车程将近一个半钟头,而周六高峰期的粤式午茶更需要至少廿分钟排号入坐。
对于身居纽约下城并时常出入唐人街的娃儿来说,除了就餐环境具有可比性外,其它似乎没有什么新鲜之感。当然,人生值得尝试一次千载难逢。
