英詩：Wallace Stevens (1879 -1955)

雪人 The Snow Man


必須用冬日的心境

才能看待寒霜與松枝

大雪紛飛下冰殼覆蓋



必定已侵冷多時

才能看待披著冰的檜

還有正月太陽遠處閃耀的杉



才能不想起

風中咆哮的悲涼

還有殘葉窣窣



那也是大地的聲音

滿載同樣的風兒

吹過同樣的荒涼



於是傾聽的在雪中聽著

見著了無有本身

─ 不存在的 與 皆存在的

（試譯）

One must have a mind of winter

to regard the frost and 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 listeners, who listens in the snow

And, nothing himself, beholds

Nothing that is not there and nothing that is.
