【The Comedian As The Letter C-VI | And Daughters with Curls (1921)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

        ……

        The chits came for his jigging, bluet-eyed,

        Hands without touch yet touching poignantly,

        Leaving no room upon his cloudy knee,

        Prophetic joint, for its diviner young.

        The return to social nature, once begun,

        Anabasis or slump, ascent or chute,

        Involved him in midwifery so dense

        His cabin counted as phylactery,

        Then place of vexing palankeens, then haunt

        Of children nibbling at the sugared void,

        Infants yet eminently old, then dome

        And halidom for the unbraided femes,

        Green crammers of the green fruits of the world,

        Bidders and biders for its ecstasies,

        True daughters both of Crispin and his clay.

        All this with many mulctings of the man,

        Effective colonizer sharply stopped

        In the door-yard by his own capacious bloom.

        But that this bloom grown riper, showing nibs

        Of its eventual roundness, puerile tints

        Of spiced and weathery rouges, should complex

        The stopper to indulgent fatalist

        Was unforeseen. First Crispin smiled upon

        His goldenest demoiselle, inhabitant,

        She seemed, of a country of the capuchins,

        So delicately blushed, so humbly eyed,

        Attentive to a coronal of things

        Secret and singular. Second, upon

        A second similar counterpart, a maid

        Most sisterly to the first, not yet awake

        Excepting to the motherly footstep, but

        Marvelling sometimes at the shaken sleep.

        Then third, a thing still flaxen in the light,

        A creeper under jaunty leaves. And fourth,

        Mere blusteriness that gewgaws jollified,

        All din and gobble, blasphemously pink.

        A few years more and the vermeil capuchin

        Gave to the cabin, lordlier than it was,

        The dulcet omen fit for such a house.

        The second sister dallying was shy

        To fetch the one full-pinioned one himself

        Out of her botches, hot embosomer.

        The third one gaping at the orioles

        Lettered herself demurely as became

        A pearly poetess, peaked for rhapsody.

        The fourth, pent now, a digit curious.

        Four daughters in a world too intricate

        In the beginning, four blithe instruments

        Of differing struts, four voices several

        In couch, four more person?, intimate

        As buffo, yet divers, four mirrors blue

        That should be silver, four accustomed seeds

        Hinting incredible hues, four self-same lights

        That spread chromatics in hilarious dark,

        Four questioners and four sure answerers.

        ……

【《喜剧演员就像字母C之六 | 还有卷发女儿们(1921)】

华莱士·史蒂文斯“异乡人·花环”(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

        ……

        那些小家伙们随他那轻快的舞步而来,蓝眼睛,

        手未触及却牵动人心,

        在他如云雾般的膝头——

        那预言性的关节——没给更神圣的后代留下空隙。

        回归社会自然的历程一旦开启,

        上行或下坠,攀爬或滑落,

        都让他卷入了如此繁复的助产之中,

        他的小屋先成了护符匣,

        继而成了烦恼轿舆的停驻,又成了

        孩子们啃食甜蜜虚空的居所——

        这些婴儿却已显老,随后又化作

        未束发女子的穹顶与圣地,

        她们狼吞虎咽世间青涩的果实,

        既渴望又耐心地守候着狂喜的降临,

        堪称克里斯宾“卷发”及其尘世血肉真正的女儿。

        这一切伴随着对他个人的种种磨难,

        这位卓有成效的拓荒者,却在自家门前

        被那繁茂盛开的花朵骤然阻住了去路。

        然而这花朵日渐成熟,显露

        终将圆满的轮廓,香料与风霜染就的

        稚嫩红晕,竟让这位纵容的宿命论者

        陷入始料未及的困境。起初,克里斯宾微笑

        注视他最金黄的少女,她宛如

        修士国度中的居民,

        面容细腻红晕,目光谦卑,

        专注于神秘而独特的

        万物之冠。其次,

        第二位相似的对偶,一位少女,

        与第一位最像姐妹,尚未醒来,

        除了对母亲脚步的感知,却也

        偶尔惊叹于那被扰动的梦境。

        再者第三位,在光中仍如亚麻般浅淡,

        轻快叶片下的攀缘者。第四位,

        不过是喧嚣,被小饰品所欢愉,

        整日吵闹吞咽,近乎亵渎的粉红。

        又过几年,那身披朱红修士服的女子

        给予小屋,比它本身更显气派——

        与这宅邸相称的甜美吉兆。

        二姐在迟疑中羞怯,

        不愿将那位羽翼丰满的妹妹——

        那热烈的拥抱者——从她的拙作中唤出。

        第三位凝视着黄鹂,

        娴静地书写,恰如其分地成为

        珍珠般的女诗人,满怀狂想的憧憬。

        第四位,如今受困,宛如好奇的手指。

        四个女儿在这过于错综复杂的世界——

        起初,四件欢快的乐器,

        姿态各异,四种声响在卧榻上

        迥然不同;四个更深的角色,亲密如

        谐角,却又各具风采;四面蓝色镜子

        本应是银,四颗寻常的种子

        透出不可思议的色泽;四道相同的光芒,

        在欢愉的黑暗中散发斑斓色彩;

        四位发问者,也是四位答复者。

        ……

【注】比财富更重要的,是认知的高度。财富可以转移、流动,甚至凭空消散,但认知一旦融入一个人的骨血,便会持续地塑造他观看世界的方式。真正拉开人与人差距的,从来不是银行账户里的数字,而是面对同一个问题时,有人看见的是绝路,有人看见的是分岔的路径;有人被困在既有的解释里,有人却能凭一句话、一个角度,把整件事重新打开。跟认知高的人相处,他未必会直接给你什么,但他的存在本身就像一扇被推开的窗户,让你看见自己从未留意过的风景。而跟有钱的人在一起,除非他愿意分享,否则那种富足终究属于他自己。

我见过一些人,他们手中没有太多财富,却总能以寥寥数语,让你对自己早已习以为常的想法产生新的疑惑——而那种疑惑,远比一个现成的答案更有分量。他们不急于说服你,也不炫耀自己的见识,只是在恰当的时机,用一个问题或一个停顿,帮你重新校准自己的位置。认知高的人往往不做向导,他们更像一座沉默的路标,指向你未曾预想的方向。他们分享的不是知识本身,而是一种看待世界的方式,一种在混沌中辨认方向的眼力。那种分享是无声的,却比你拥有过的任何馈赠都更加持久,会在你困惑的时刻无声浮现,为你提供重新出发的坐标。

说到底,我们最需要的不是被谁给予答案,而是被某种目光注视过,从而获得一种新的注视方式。那些认知高的人,给不了你物质上的馈赠,却能把你还不具备的“看见”能力分享给你——让你在困惑中依然能辨认出自己,在黑暗里依然能看见前方。那不是仰仗,而是被照亮之后终于可以独自前行的自由。我生命中曾出现过的那些智者,从不告诉我该做什么,只是通过他们看待事物的方式,让我重新认识了自己。那是我一生中最被慷慨分享的部分——不是他们的所有,而是他们的目光。
