Manhattan-Brooklyn Bridges, NYC(纽约城·曼哈顿与布鲁克林大桥)
2023-11-04 National Candy Day
Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)
He knew that he was a spirit without a foyer
And that, in his knowledge, local objects become
More precious than the most precious objects of home:
The local objects of a world without a foyer,
Without a remembered past, a present past,
Or a present future, hoped for in present hope,
Objects not present as a matter of course
On the dark side of the heavens or the bright,
In the sphere with so few objects of its own.
Little existed for him but the few things
For which a fresh name always occurred, as if
He wanted to make them, keep them from perishing,
The few things, the objects of insight, the integrations
Of feeling, the things that came of their own accord,
Because he desired without knowing quite what,
That were the moments of the classic, the beautiful.
These were the serene he had always been approaching
As toward an absolute foyer beyond romance.

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)
【红霞译】
他知道自己没有主心骨
还发觉局部物品变得
比家里最珍贵的东西还要珍贵：
远离中心领域的局部物品，
没有记忆的过去，没有现在的过去，
或者现在的未来，现在的所盼所期，
物品并非存在于
天际间冥昭瞢闇，
鲜有自身价值的范畴里。
于他几近空无除了
名称不断翻新，仿佛
他要刻意为之，以免荡然无遗。
重要事物、洞察对象、感性
融合，理所当然的存在，
因为他弄不清究竟渴望什么，
或许那才是经典、美丽的时刻。
他始终追逐这种平静
朝向超越浪漫的绝对中心。
【注】今年纽约大学的家长会依旧定在金秋十月最后一周，虽然身为纽约仔的儿子已上大三，但我还是提前一个月上网注册，希望再度走进校园领略教育的真谛。哪曾想到，计划赶不上变化，变化赶不上旧病复发！因为坐骨神经作梗，痛得我整个周末卧床不起，只好将纽约之行顺延一周。
既然错过了家庭聚会，何不到曼哈顿“弓”桥、布碌仑“美溪”大桥浪一遭？秋冬之交正染上头疼脑热的纽约仔周一期中考试在即，于是我们相约下城小福州埠的花园川菜馆，午餐后桥头堡前各奔东西。
1983年与1966年，弓岛大桥和美溪大桥分别被纳入《美国国家历史遗迹名录》。
