Zbigniew Herbert 시 "Mr Cogito and the Imagination"시 2026. 1. 17. 02:36
. 요즘은 Edward Hirsch, "100 Poems to Break Your Heart"를 매일 몇 편씩 읽고 있는데 꽤 재밌다. (새로 읽기 시작한 Kiran Desai의 소설 "The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny'가 처지고 있다.) 한 편의 시를 되읽을수록 재미가 더하겠지만 나는 그러지 못하고 자꾸 다음 시로 넘어간다. 대신, 어떤 시는 여기에 옮겨 적으려고 한다. 우선, Zbigniew Herbert의 2부로 구성된 시 "Mr Cogito and the Imagination"의 1부로 시작한다. 생각이 나와 비슷해 보이는 작가 V의 에세이는, 몇 년 전 일이지만, 그래서 읽다 말고 더는 그의 에세이를 안 읽고 싶어 하는데 시인 Zbigniew Herbert는 오히려 그..
