[胡翻亂譯] Anecdote of the Jar

*** 罐的佚事 我捧一罐，田納西州。 罐兒圓圓，置於山顛。 青天蒼蒼，四野茫茫。 居高臨下，統領大荒。 荒野複蘇，蜂擁而至。 山呼舞蹈，匍伏周邊。 罐兒圓圓，高聳山顛。 氣接霄漢，開口向天。 兀那罐兒，君臨四野。 惜無雄貌，色澤灰白。 不生灌木，難養鳥雀。 田納西州，獨一無二。 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.
