Rockefeller Ctr Christmas Tree, NYC(纽约城·黑麦田中心圣诞树)

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)
Weight him down, O side-stars, with the great weightings of the end.
Seal him there. He looked in a glass of the earth and thought he lived in it.
Now, he brings all that he saw into the earth, to the waiting parent.
His crisp knowledge is devoured by her, beneath a dew.
Weight him, weight, weight him with the sleepiness of the moon.
It was only a glass because he looked in it. It was nothing he could be told.
It was a language he spoke, because he must, yet did not know.
It was a page he had found in the handbook of heartbreak.
The black fugatos are strumming the blackness of black...
The thick strings stutter the finial gutturals.
He does not lie there remembering the blue-jay, say the jay.
His grief is that his mother should feed on him, himself and what he saw,
In that distant chamber, a bearded queen, wicked in her dead light.

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)
【红霞译】
伴星啊，求你用末日巨大的权重压垮他。
将他封在那里。他盯着一杯泥土，自以为住在里面。
现在，他把所看到的一切带入大地，带给等待的母亲。
露珠下，他的真知灼见被她吞没。
压他，压吧，让月亮的睡意向他压来。
他看到的只是玻璃杯。他没听说什么。
他只用会的但不了解的语言。
他找到写在绝望手册的篇章。
黑色赋格曲显得暗沉厚重……
粗弦哽咽着最后刺耳的声音。
松鸦说，他没躺在那儿回忆冠蓝鸟。
令他忧虑的是他母亲该从他自己及他之所见得到满足，
那远处室内，邪恶的大胡子女王，在她死气沉沉的光芒中。
