【The Snow Man】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

            One must have a mind of winter

            To regard the frost and the boughs

            Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;

            And have been cold a long time

            To behold the junipers shagged with ice,

            The spruces rough in the distant glitter

            Of the January sun; and not to think

            Of any misery in the sound of the wind,

            In the sound of a few leaves,

            Which is the sound of the land

            Full of the same wind

            That is blowing in the same bare place

            For the listener, who listens in the snow,

            And, nothing himself, beholds

            Nothing that is not there and nothing that is.

【《雪人》】

威爾士人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

                這人必有冬天的思想

                想着松樹的冰霜與枝椏

                想着被積雪覆壓；

                而且已受長期冰凍

                觀看着柏樹被冰雪弄亂，

                雲杉略顯粗野

                在一月陽光的遙遠閃爍之中；

                不去想任何可憐的遺憾

                在風聲中，落葉聲中，

                那就是大地的響聲

                充滿同樣的狂風

                正吹過同樣荒涼之地

                為着傾聽者吹，雪中聆聽的

                完全不見自己，看見的是

                沒有什麼不在那裡，那也什麼都沒有。
