2025 Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, NYC(纽约杜莎夫人蜡像馆)
2025-05-10 National Train Day
【Bowl (1916)】
Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)
For what emperor
Was this bowl of Earth designed?
Here are more things
Than on any bowl of the Sungs,
Even the rarest—
Vines that take
The various obscurities of the moon,
Approaching rain
And leaves that would be loose upon the wind,
Pears on pointed trees,
The dresses of women,
Oxen …
I never tire
To think of this.

【《碗》(1916)】
异乡人?史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)
【红霞译】
为哪位皇帝
设计的这大地之碗？
盛的东西要比
宋代任何瓷碗都多，
甚至绝无仅有——
藤蔓饱经
月色的朦胧，
将至的雨水
还有飘落的树叶，
尖叶的梨树，
女人的连衣裙，
劳役的牛群……
我禁不住
浮想联翩。
【注】27年前，我曾去过伦敦杜莎夫人蜡像馆，感觉像是走进了历史博物馆，超过250尊蜡像中至少一半以上的人物出自文化古都、皇亲贵族、法国大革命时期，而开在纽约的则注重沉浸式体验，以娱乐为主，大约150尊蜡像几乎都是耳熟能详的同时代前后拨人物，既没有历史感，也无需民族记忆，到这里只管偶遇网红邂逅明星，好莱坞腕儿、音乐达人、传媒大咖、体育偶像……轻松帮我打发掉晚餐前两个钟头。
