在艾克斯的塞尚马永波 译

Cézanne at AixCharles Tomlinson


而山:每一天
And the mountain : each day
都像果实一样静止。又不像
Immobile like fruit. Unlike, also
——因为不能缩减,因为
Because irreducible, because
既没有一个成分
Neither a component of the delicious
因为珍贵而可疑。
And therefore questionable,
也没有(像模特一样)
Nor distracted (as the sitter)
因自己的姿势而分心,并因此,
By his own pose and, therefore,
受到加倍的怀疑:它的姿势
Doubly to be questioned : it is not
不是摆好的。它本来如此。天然
Posed. It is. Untaught
不可改变,一个石头的桥头堡
Unalterable, a stone bridgehead
对于它是实在的,
To that which is tangible.
因为以前没有感觉到,
Because unfelt before. There
在它风吹雨打的重量中,
In its weathered weight
在它的寂静中,沉默着一个
Its silence silences, a presence
没有表现自身的存在。
Which does not present itself.
