Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)
We live in a constellation
Of patches and of pitches,
Not in a single world,
In things said well in music,
On the piano and in speech,
As in the page of poetry-
Thinkers without final thoughts
In an always incipient cosmos.
The way, when we climb a mountain,
Vermont throws itself together.

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)
【红霞译】
我们生活的星座
斑驳发黑,
并非单一的世界,
尽可用音乐表现事物,
无论钢琴弹奏还是朗诵吟咏,
正如诗篇抒发的那样——
思想者无法定论
始终处于萌芽状态的宇宙。
当我们攀登峻岭,带动
青山一路行走。
【注】1993年6月满载262名主要为福建非法移民的“金色冒险”号(Golden Venture)货轮从中国福州出发,经泰国曼谷、肯尼亚蒙巴萨、南非好望角等地在纽约笑水之地(Rockaway)人为搁浅,华人黑社会福青帮由此进入公众视线。据报道,此前之后登陆的成功者大多先从曼哈顿(意译“弓”城)飞地——小福州埠立身,继而再转战皇后区的法拉盛“冲水”和布鲁克林“美溪”区的中国城,对于没有身份的偷渡客同胞来说,离开的是幸运,留下的是青春。
小福州埠坐落在弓桥与美溪大桥之间东百老汇区段,其热闹程度跟邻近以广东裔主导的纽约下城唐人街相比毫无逊色,可圈可点的花园川菜酒家正好位处小福州埠腹地,今天茶余饭后,让耳闻目睹的场景走进我的生活。
