Louise Glück 의 시 "The Red Poppy"

 

점심 때 문득 생각이 나서, 오늘은 볼 수 있을 것 같은

예감으로 뒤뜰을 내다보니 활짝 핀 주황색 양귀비꽃 한

송이가 보인다. 우선 창가에서 땡겨서 한 장 찍고 점심

후에 나가서 몇 장 더 찍었다.

 

내가 좋아하는 시 Louise Glück 의 "The Red Poppy"도

또 올린다.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Red Poppy

 

By Louise Glück

 

 

The great thing
is not having
a mind. Feelings:
oh, I have those; they
govern me. I have
a lord in heaven
called the sun, and open
for him, showing him
the fire of my own heart, fire
like his presence.
What could such glory be
if not a heart? Oh my brothers and sisters,
were you like me once, long ago,
before you were human? Did you
permit yourselves
to open once, who would never
open again? Because in truth
I am speaking now
the way you do. I speak
because I am shattered.
