【The Beginning (1948)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

    So summer comes in the end to these few stains

    And the rust and rot of the door through which she went.

    The house is empty. But here is where she sat

    To comb her dewy hair, a touchless light,

    Perplexed by its darker iridescences.

    This was the glass in which she used to look

    At the moment's being, without history,

    The self of summer perfectly perceived,

    And feel its country gayety and smile

    And be surprised and tremble, hand and lip.

    This is the chair from which she gathered up

    Her dress, the carefulest, commodious weave

    Inwoven by a weaver to twelve bells …

    The dress is lying, cast-off, on the floor.

    Now, the first tutoyers of tragedy

    Speak softly, to begin with, in the eaves.

【《开始》(1948)】

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

            夏天终于来到她走过的

            那道略带泥巴又腐蚀生锈的大门。

            房子空无一人。但这个地方她坐着

            梳理露水般秀发，没有感觉的光亮，

            被更暗的虹彩所迷惑。

            这面镜子她常看

            瞬间的存在，没有来历，

            完美感知了夏天的自我，

            体会到乡村的欢笑

            激动得乐不可支。

            这把椅子她搭放

            裙子，手织精致宽松

            编出十二个铃铛……

            这条裙子扔在地板上。

            现在，第一批悲剧导师

            在屋檐下开始轻声说话。
