Poem Beginning with a Sentence from Stevens

Panoramas are not what they used to be.Perhaps they never were. Even in the Alpsone can easily confuse the view, mistaking

something imagined for something seen,and put a whole geography in doubt aboutit, before adjusting the eye to let the scene

shift with the turn of gaze, until a wholemountain crumbles down around himas he sits in his own ruins and stares at

what he might have, might have, been.

Poem Ending with a Sentence from Stevens

It is very cold. The air, brittle,breaks in my face. Out walkingearly along the water, I watch iceeating the edges of the waves. Kitesof gulls seem frozen in midair.

The seawall has been here for ages,holding the small village in the cupof land. The doors and windowsare closed and locked. They rattlein their broken frames. Smoke rises

from a few chimneys and blowsaway in the wind. My feet followme, imprinted in the thin icy crust.The long silence makes me believethe mind is not part of the weather. [End Page 120]

为看到的东西想象的东西，然后对整个地理环境都存有疑问，然后再调整视线以使场景成为可能

视线转向，直到他坐在自己的废墟中，凝视着整座山，跌落在他身旁

他可能曾经拥有过的东西。

以史蒂文斯的句子结尾的诗

它是非常冷的。空气脆了，在我脸上破裂。我沿着水走得很早，看着冰吞噬着海浪的边缘。海鸥的风筝似乎冻结在空中。

海堤在这里已经存在了很长时间，将小村庄容纳在这片土地上。门窗已关闭并上锁。他们嘎嘎作响。冒烟

从几根烟囱中飞走。我的脚跟在我身上，印在稀薄的冰皮上。长时间的沉默使我相信头脑不是天气的一部分。[完第120页]
