【The Brave Man (1936)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

        The sun, that brave man,

        Comes through boughs that lie in wait,

        That brave man.

        Green and gloomy eyes

        In dark forms of the grass

        Run away.

        The good stars,

        Pale helms and spiky spurs,

        Run away.

        Fears of my bed,

        Fears of life and fears of death,

        Run away.

        That brave man comes up

        From below and walks without meditation,

        That brave man.

【《勇敢的人》(1936)】

異鄉人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【紅霞譯】

            太陽，那位勇敢的人，

            從靜候的枝椏升起，

            那位勇敢的人。

            暗綠沉鬱的雙眼

            在草叢的黑暗中

            消逝而去。

            美好的星辰，

            蒼白的頭盔還有尖利的靴刺，

            消逝而去。

            故鄉的畏懼， 

            生命的畏懼還有死亡的畏懼，

            消逝而去。

            那位勇敢的人挺身

            而起，毫不猶豫，

            那位勇敢的人。

【注】今年冬季天氣暖和得有失賓州常態，直到元旦過後寒流來襲，方才恢復千里冰封萬里雪飄的本來面目，半個多月間雨淞、濕雪、干雪紛至沓來，觸目的當屬龍鍾臘月的一片蕭索，而居家歡度寒假的大三生終於在返校前迎來了大顯身手的好時機。
