The Snow Man
Wallace Stevens

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 the nothing that is.

雪人
华莱士•史蒂文斯

必须怀有冬日的心境，
方能领略眼前的万树一片冰晶雪白；
只有经受长久的严寒，
才会欣赏松枝银装素裹在斜阳中闪烁的光采；
寒风啸啸，落叶嘶嘶，
冬天的强音在耳际徘徊；
苍茫大地响起同一的奏鸣，
雪上的聆听者把悲情全都抛开：
自身虚无才能审视不存在的虚无，
自身不存在方可洞察虚无的存在。
