Rain, Edith Sitwell

Rain, Dame Edith Sitwell

Still falls the rain --
Dark as the world of man, black as our loss --
Blind as the nineteen hundred and forty nails upon the Cross.

- Dame Edith Sitwell (1887~1964), Still falls the rain

아직도 비가 내린다 --
인간의 세계처럼 어두운, 우리의 상실(喪失)처럼 검은--
십자가에 박는 천구백 사십개의 못처럼 맹목(盲目)으로.

- 이디스 시트웰, 아직도 비가 내린다

Advice, Sejong the Great

Advice, Sejong the Great

I am neither virtuous, nor skilful at governing. There will definitely be times when I do not act upon the heavens’ wishes. So look hard for my flaws and make me answer to their reprimands.

- Sejong the Great (1937~1450), 1425

나는 고결하지도, 통치에 능숙하지도 않소. 하늘의 뜻에 어긋날 때도 있을 것이오. 그러니 내 결점을 열심히 찾아보고, 내가 그 질책에 답하게 하시오.

- 세종 (世宗, 1937~1450), 1425년
