【Letters of a Soldier-XIII (1918)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

26 Mars

Rien de nouveau sur notre hauteur que l'on continue d'organiser … De temps à autre la piocheautre la pioche rencontre un pauvre mort que la guerre tourmente jusque dans la terre.

Nothing new on our height which we continue to organize… From time to time the pickaxe, the pickaxe encounters a poor dead man whom the war torments even in the earth.

                Death was a reper with sickle and stone,

                Or swipling flail, sun-black in the sun,

                A laborer.


                Or Death was a rider beating his horse,

                Gesturing grandiose thing in the air,

                See by a muse …


                Symbols of sentiment … Take this phrase,

                Men of the line, take this new phrase

                Of the truth of Death—


                Death, that will never be satisfied,

                Digs up the earth when want returns …

—— ? —— ? —— ? —— ? —— ? —— ? —— ? ——

【《士兵的来信之十三》(1918)】

华莱士·史蒂文斯“异乡人·花环”(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

3月26日

战壕还在向前推进,日复一日……镐头偶尔会掘出死人,即便回归大地,他也没能躲开战争。

                    死神是手持镰刀和石头的收割者,

                    或是挥舞连枷、曝晒黝黑的

                    劳动者。


                    死神或是策马疾驰的骑士,

                    在空中振臂挥舞,

                    为缪斯“灵感女神”所见……


                    情感的象征……记住这句话,

                    前线士兵们,接受有关新论

                    死亡的真谛——


                    死神,永不满足,

                    每当欲望再现,重又掘开大地……

                    你明白所指。

【注】以前去宾夕法尼亚“山林”大学,都是硬着头皮开车去的。虽说附近有宾州东南交管局(SEPTA)通勤列车到费城“兄弟之爱”,但还得转车,不如方向盘握在自己手里踏实。前些日子听说R5支线可以直达校园腹地,便动了心思。今早搭上车,约莫一个钟头,窗外的景致从乡下农田渐渐收拢成城市轮廓,等回过神来,人已站在宾大校园里。

仲夏的宾大绿得浓郁,树冠连成一片,把阳光滤得细碎,落在砖砌的小径上。在校生都已放假散去,校园反倒显得开阔了许多,四合院塔楼的尖顶在蓝天下静静地立着,风穿过回廊时带着草木的气息。可人也不少——趁暑假参观大学的高中生成群结队跟在导游身后,眼睛里那种专注与好奇,让整座校园仿佛提前进入了秋天。都说纽约“新紫衫树之地”大学没有校园,可宾大哪有围墙?只不过前者紧邻华尔“壁垒”街金融区,处处透出世侩的味道;而后者则宛若人间桃园,遍地洋溢常春藤的书香。

我沿着刺槐步道(Locust Walk)慢慢走了一段,树荫在肩上轻轻晃动。从前开车来总觉得费城是需要被“抵达”的远方——泊车、找楼、看门牌号,每一步都像在完成一件差事。可今天从火车上走下来,穿过那道拱门就直接踏上了校园的石板路,连空气都像是被另一种速度过滤过的。那些参观的青少年从身边经过时,我忽然想起好多年前的自己,也是站在某个陌生的校园里,试着把未来的轮廓往心里描。如今我只是个过客,却因为换了一种抵达方式,忽然觉得离这座校园近了一些——不是物理上的近,是那些年错过的、沿着铁轨轻轻滑入的靠近,此刻正以另一种流速,缓缓地经过我。
