Stevens began life as a choirboy and as a christian , but his work is all about replacing christian theology with poetry .
史蒂文斯最初是一个唱诗班的少年歌者,也是一个基督徒,但是他的作品都是关于用诗歌取代基督教的理论.
There was one boy on the street who sold candied haws on a stick , who would pipe out his wares in the manner of a consumptive choirboy , pleading with the faceless passers-by with both his faltering voice and his desperate eyes .
