//.....這段繞道《全景》的討論，對應的正是《語句的誕生》中未明確說明的東西：第一篇與第二篇文章之間的關係。第二篇文章是對《派特森》（Paterson）的冥想——無論是威廉斯的書還是賈木許的電影。我前面將這篇文章描述為一個斷言的陳述。它關乎詩歌的「語言情境」。根據Jean-Christophe Bailly的說法，它是什麼？「詩，某種程度上，發現自己處於語言的中心，作為自己的監聽與強度要求，作為那種傾聽詞彙所帶來的、或可能帶來的強度的東西。」（NP, p. 60）詩（雖然是語言的作品）位於意義顯現的具體之處，最接近閱讀必須不斷啟始的循環。它位於「語句誕生」的地點：它是語句內部從「非語句」向「語句」過渡的事件。為什麼？因為它不屈從於任何權威（無論是文類、論述、邏輯、道德或其他權威），它可以接納世界的一切並將一切關聯起來。Bailly寫道，它是「意義轉移與反彈的實驗空間，是萬物與萬物、此與彼之間永久滲透的空間，是一個無始無終的流動，詩從中過濾出多變的數量，從極小的置入與類筆記到大規模的概括性姿態。」（NP, p. 49-50）。從這個意義上說，詩是對現實本身的一種露天重建，事物之間表面上的無政府接觸，正是它們組織化以及意義出現的事件——這意義或許正在牙牙學語，或許需要不斷地語句化。因此，詩表演了意義的初始起點。它是「意圖者」的原初編舞。
這不僅關乎《派特森》，因為正如Jean-Christophe Bailly在先前隨筆中所寫，每一首詩都是「第一次說話」：「在詩的每一瞬間，語言的品質（其詞彙與修辭）總是存在、懸浮、警覺：詩是保持在其初始狀態的書寫形式。詩總是開始……」。但在《派特森》中，他找到了精確的元素（書中開頭的「冒號」；電影結尾贈送的空白頁），這些元素透過一種揭示性的轉喻，更加戲劇化地展現了詩歌的一般工作：簡單來說，就是「意義的孵化」。如果詩能完成這項職能，是因為它「將名字恢復到其穩固與漂浮之中，將其置於原初與聞所未聞之間。……面對每一個名字，詩都在顫抖：詩是名字的顫抖，它被寫下或被說出，就像一系列由顫抖的名字構成的固定序列，並帶著它前行。」（p. 55）。對Jean-Christophe Bailly而言，詩就像是一條名字噴湧而出的河流，一個沒有外部權威、但由內在趨勢建構的流動，不斷重新演繹事物之間的關係：一個巨大的語句。沒有外部權威，並不意味著詩本身就是一種權威。它不是先驗結構，而是結構浮現的地點：實驗性的，亦即自由的。正如《派特森》所言，詩「逃避任何強加意願的企圖」。它從不扮演根基，卻總是「開始」並使意義迸發。
如此一來，語句化，所有的語句化
都可以被描述為一種緩慢的解決
或是自發地解決一個關於空氣模具
或水力學的問題（我記得
Pierre Alféri在韓國大田
一個奇異研討會上的相關報告）
整體在沒有先例的情況下演進
在隨之開闢的小徑上
詩並未在上面蓋上任何印記
相反，或許僅僅是一種撤退的權利
比聲音所震動的空氣層
撤退得還要更快
………………
這是一場流體引輸的交易，關於「筆跡」（ductus）的古老故事
因此有了過濾器、瓣膜、篩網、管路
空氣與水的流動，溝渠，運河
交換器、引道、障礙、水閘
橋樑、天橋、跳房子、骨牌、切換器
滑梯、往返、調節器、天平
因此，發生之事：那個離開的地點
而非形式框架，抒情決定
公式在每一瞬間都是完整的
不完美源自姿勢的錯誤
但從一個錯誤到另一個，就像
跨出一步到另一步，生者否定了石碑
或星形：stele stellata
這就是沒有大寫字母的星座
果核與外殼不可分割地黏合
………………….
簡言之，為了回答阿蘭·巴迪歐（Alain Badiou）：
詩並非帝國式的，或無論如何
它不再是，且從這種「損失」中「支撐自身」。
（Jean-Christophe Bailly，《持續低音》，Seuil 出版社，2000, p. 160-161）
“Dear Mama: The reason I didn’t write last Sunday was because I was out of town. My friend Pound invited me to spend Saturday and Sunday with him … His parents are very nice people and have always been exceptionally kind to me.” — William Carlos Williams
“The people I met are too sporty for me,” Williams wrote to his mother, having trouble finding his footing in medical school.

Paterson (poem)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paterson is a
poem by influential modern American poet
William Carlos Williams.
The poem is composed of five books and a fragment of a sixth book. The five books of
Paterson were published separately in 1946, 1948, 1949, 1951, and 1958, and the entire work was published as a unit in 1963. This book is considered to be Williams' epic. Williams' book
In the American Grain is claimed to be
Paterson's abstracted introduction involving a rewritten American history. It is a poetic monument to, and personification of, the city of
Paterson, New Jersey. However, as a whole the three main topics of the poem are Paterson the Man, Paterson the City, and Identity. The theme of the poem being centered in an in-depth look at the process of modernization and its effects.
[edit] Composition
Williams saw the poet as a type of reporter, who relays the news of the world to the people. He prepared for the writing of
Paterson in this way:
I started to make trips to the area. I walked around the streets; I went on Sundays in summer when the people were using the park, and I listened to their conversation as much as I could. I saw whatever they did, and made it part of the poem.[1]
While writing the poem, Williams struggled to find ways to incorporate the real world facts obtained through his research into the poem. On a worksheet for the poem, he wrote, "Make it factual (as the Life is factual-almost casual-always sensual-usually visual: related to thought)". Williams considered, but ultimately rejected, putting footnotes into the work describing some facts. Still, the style of the poem allowed for many opportunities to incorporate 'factual information', including portions of his own correspondence with the American poet
Marcia Nardi and fellow New Jersey poet
Allen Ginsberg [2].

1883 - 1963
-----
William Carlos Williams was born on September 17, 1883, in Rutherford, New Jersey. His father had emigrated from Birmingham, England, and his mother (whose mother Basque and whose father was of Dutch-Spanish-Jewish descent) from Puerto Rico. Williams attended schools in Rutherford until 1897, when he was sent for two years to a school near Geneva and to the Lycée Condorcet in Paris. On his return he attended the Horace Mann High School in New York City. After having passed a special examination, he was admitted in 1902 to the medical school of the University of Pennsylvania. There he met two poets, Hilda Doolittle and Ezra Pound. The latter friendship had a permanent effect; Williams said he could divide his life into Before Pound and After Pound.
Williams did his internship in New York City from 1906 to 1909, writing verse in between patients. He published a first book, Poems, in 1909. Then he went to Peipzig in 1909 to study pediatrics, and after that retuned to Rutherford to practice medicine there for the rest of his life. In 1912 he married Florence Herman (or "Flossie"). In 1913 Pound secured a London publisher for Williams' second book, The Tempers. But his first distinctly original book was Al Que Quiere! (To Him Who Wants It!), published in Boston in 1917. In the following years he wrote not only poems but short stories, novels, essays, and an autobiography. In 1946 he began the fulfillment of a long-standing plan, to write an epic poem, with the publication of Paterson, Book I. The three following books appeared in 1948, 1949, and 1951; in 1952 he suffered a crippling stroke, which forced him to give up his medical practice and drastically limited his ability to write. Nonetheless he continued to so so, producing an unanticipated fifth book of Paterson in 1958 as well as shorter poems. He died in Rutherford in March 4, 1963. Two months later his last book of lyrics won the Pulitzer prize for poetry.

1851年4月14日建市。
In 1791,
Alexander Hamilton helped found the
Society for the Establishment of Useful Manufactures (S.U.M.), which helped encourage the harnessing of energy from the
Great Falls of the Passaic, to secure economic independence from British manufacturers. Paterson, which was founded by the society, became the cradle of the industrial revolution in America. Paterson was named for
William Paterson,
Governor of New Jersey, statesman, and signer of the
Constitution.
French architect, engineer, and city planner
Pierre L'Enfant, who developed the plans for
Washington, D.C., was the first superintendent for the S.U.M. project. He devised a plan, which would harness the power of the Great Falls through a channel in the rock and an aqueduct. However, the society's directors felt he was taking too long and was over budget. He was replaced by Peter Colt, who used a less-complicated reservoir system to get the water flowing to factories in 1794. Eventually, Colt's system developed some problems and a scheme resembling L'Enfant's original plan was used after 1846. L'Enfant, meanwhile, brought his city plans with him when he designed Washington, and that city's layout resembles the plan he wanted to develop for Paterson.
The industries developed in Paterson were powered by the 77-foot high Great Falls, and a system of water raceways that harnessed the power of the falls. The city began growing around the falls and until 1914 the mills were powered by the waterfalls. The district originally included dozens of mill buildings and other manufacturing structures associated with the textile industry and later, the firearms, silk, and railroad locomotive manufacturing industries. In the latter half of the 19th century,
silk production became the dominant industry and formed the basis of Paterson's most prosperous period, earning it the nickname "Silk City." In 1835, Samuel Colt began producing firearms in Paterson, although within a few years he moved his business to
Hartford, Connecticut. Later in the 19th century, Paterson was the site of early experiments with submarines by Irish-American inventor
John Holland. Two of Holland's early models — one found at the bottom of the Passaic River — are on display in the
Paterson Museum, housed in the former
Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works near the Passaic Falls.
The city was a mecca for
immigrant laborers who worked in its factories as well. Paterson was also the site of historic labor unrest that focused on anti-child labor legislation, and the six-month long
Paterson silk strike of 1913 that demanded the
eight-hour day and better working conditions, but was defeated by the employers with workers forced to return under pre-strike conditions. Factory workers labored long hours for low wages under dangerous conditions, and lived in crowded tenement buildings around the mills. The factories then moved south where there were no labor unions, and later moved overseas.
In 1932, Paterson opened
Hinchliffe Stadium, a 10,000-seat stadium named in honor of John V. Hinchliffe, the mayor at the time. Hinchliffe originally served as the site for high school and professional athletic events. From 1933–1937, 1939–1945, Hinchliffe was the home of the
New York Black Yankees and from 1935-36 the home of the
New York Cubans of the
Negro National League. The historic ballpark was also a venue for many professional football games, track and field events, boxing matches and auto and motorcycle racing.
Abbott and Costello performed at Hinchliffe prior to boxing matches. Hinchliffe is one of only three
Negro League stadiums left standing in the United States, and is on the
National Register of Historic Places. In 1963, Paterson Public Schools acquired the stadium and used it for public school events until 1997, but it is currently in a state of disrepair, while the schools have been taken over by the state.
During
World War II Paterson played an important part in the aircraft engine industry. By the end of WWII, however, there was a decline in urban areas and Paterson was no exception, and since the 1970s the city has suffered high unemployment rates.
Once a premier shopping and leisure destination of northern New Jersey, competition from the malls in upscale neighboring towns like
Wayne and
Paramus have forced the big-chain stores out of Paterson’s downtown. The biggest industries are now small businesses because the factories have moved overseas. However, the city still, as always, attracts many
immigrants. Many of these
immigrants have revived the city's economy especially through small businesses.
The downtown area was struck by massive fires several times, most recently Jan. 17, 1991. In this fire, a near full city block (bordered on the north and south by Main and Washington Street and on the east and west by Ellison Street and College Boulevard, a stretch of Van Houten Street that is dominated by
Passaic County Community College) was engulfed in flames due to an electrical fire in the basement of a bar at 161 Main Street and spread to other buildings.
[8] Firefighter John A. Nicosia, 28, of Engine 4, went missing in the fire, having gotten lost in the basement. His body was located two days later.
[9] A plaque honoring his memory was later placed on a wall near the area. The area was so badly damaged that most of the burned buildings were demolished, with an outdoor mall standing in their place. The most notable of the destroyed buildings was the Meyer Brothers department store, which closed in 1987 and since had been parceled out.
