[胡翻乱译] Anecdote of the Jar

*** 罐的佚事 我捧一罐，田纳西州。 罐儿圆圆，置于山颠。 青天苍苍，四野茫茫。 居高临下，统领大荒。 荒野复苏，蜂拥而至。 山呼舞蹈，匍伏周边。 罐儿圆圆，高耸山颠。 气接霄汉，开口向天。 兀那罐儿，君临四野。 惜无雄貌，色泽灰白。 不生灌木，难养鸟雀。 田纳西州，独一无二。 Anecdote of the Jar 斯蒂文斯（1879---1995）

I placed a jar in Tennessee, And round it was, upon a hill. It made the slovenly wilderness Surround that hill. The wilderness rose up to it, And sprawled around, no longer wild. The jar was round upon the ground And tall and of a port in air. It took dominion everywhere. The jar was gray and bare. It did not give of bird or bush, Like nothing else in Tennessee.
