Korean poet Kim So-yeon, famous for her "Dictionary of the Mind" (마음 사전), has written a new dictionary entitled "Dictionary of Single Words" (한 글자 사전). Here is one entry from the dictionary; the English translation is mine:
씨
그 안에 무엇이 들어 있는지
쪼개어 알아내는 것이 아니라
심고 물을 주어 알아내는 것
쪼개어 알아내는 것이 아니라
심고 물을 주어 알아내는 것
Seed
To find out what's inside,
it is not something you split open;
To find out what's inside,
it is something you plant and water.
it is not something you split open;
To find out what's inside,
it is something you plant and water.
"Dictionary of Single Words"
Thank you, Sunil, but my story is not that interesting. I think you should do an email interview with Ms. Kim So-yeon. That would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I approved your comment, even though it is not related to the topic, because I like your Web site and wanted to share the link with others.
Take care.
