A night away from the city, we lay down by a lake and stargaze in silence. At some point, making sure that no one hears me, quietly I spoke: "I
give you ten seconds if you can hear me right now". Listen, when the count hit five, I swear, like a
laceration that is healed as soon as it is inflicted, the brightest shooting
star flashed across the sky.

"The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes. It seems to have favored the exploitation of human beings rather than their enlightenment."

"For centuries after antiquity, friendship was a very important kind of social relation: a social relation within which people had a certain freedom, certain kind of choice (limited of course), as well as very intense emotional relations. There were also economic and social implications to these relationships -- they were obliged to help their friends, and so on. I think that in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, we see these kinds of friendships disappearing, at least in the male society. And friendship begins to become something other than that. You can find, from the sixteenth century on, texts that explicitly criticize friendships as something dangerous.
The army, bureaucracy, administrations, universities, schools, and so on -- in the modern senses of these words -- cannot function with such intense friendships. I think there can be seen a very strong attempt in all these institutions to diminish or minimize the affectional relations. I think this is particularly important in schools."

뽕은 가장 한국적인 영화다.민화가 중국의 수묵화와 확실히 구별되는 한국적인것과 같은 이유다
이어령교수가 가장 한국적인 것을 기호라는 상징으로써 한과 신바람을 예로든다...
그것은 단군신화의 웅녀부터 춘향전까지...
한이 서려있지만, 그에대한 복수없이 그저 신바람으로 승화시키는게 우리네 이야기다...
나에게 한을준 대상에게 끝까지 복수하는 일본과 다르다...
춘향이가 변사또에게 복수하지 않고 심봉사가 뺑덕어멈을 복수하지 않는다
한을 신바람으로과장된 익살과 해학으로 승화시킨 이 영화는 그래서 가장 한국적인 영화이다
이 영화를 무슨 저질 3류영화로 치부하는 인생들이야 말로 자신의 무식을 깨닫길 바란다

Energetic Waist
Better spent gorging something -- anything -- than missing material.
Rising to set in the future, we too travel
incensed
none over tidings
maudlin no longer
Green birds and lions
Strike fear into their hearts
Let them die in the same hell they were born
concomitant snowmelt
Chinese busloads
Respiration obstructed
brawny
foghorn dirge

수면의 깊이
만약 저 파란 하늘에 침을 힘껏 뱉는다 하면
눈시울은 달아오르고
세상은 뭉그러 질 태지요
길떠나 봤자
동네 한 바퀴
약속시간 한 마디 늦춰지고
다시 또 차 오르겠죠
썰렁한 바람 씨익
스치면 짙게 붉 히는 개 한 소절
더 이상 사유도 뭐도 없이
오로지 앞날 만을 떠올려 볼까 합니다
기다려봐요
이름도 잊은채
빛 바랜 저 하늘 아래
스카이라인 서서히 넘어 마침 잠겨버릴
그 찰나 떠오르는 이 몸 덩어리 우리 같이 꼬옥 붙잡 고요
눈시울은 달아오르고

Message in a Coke Bottle
If your memories formed a sea
She would be a lost anchor
Sunken deep where no life may sleep
Where no light can breach
The silence between us
Evil
For the comfort of flowering bosoms
Evergreen drive for the uncharted
Mast in the woods, caked sneakers and holes
Soiled face at war with the immaculate garden
Weatherproof
Are we just kids
Still
There's whispered courage in your eyes
ma, maA? MaA? Ma!

Soiled face at war with the immaculate garden

ma, maA? MaA? Ma!
Honey Bee
Why don't you first harvest then
Home
Don't you regret what you find
In weathered pockets
For us there is no future
Right now
For you, I can't surrender
For I am already dead
pandering angles
A newborn is about the size of a
croissant, weighs less than a cup of coffee, and is about 900 times smaller
than its mother.

These pariahs today shall perish. They are far too bright
Through the clammy air, I see your malar flush potentiate this nightly gloom. I will not bite this glum plum, its curious kernel like the almond-shaped matter in the back of our heads.
Dear cosmic sadness, you disgorge the cardinal humors of others. And I seethe in them. Over my left one, I will put on your staunch leather thong--my tourniquet, my soiled and crimped little helper.
Listen to the blackened reprisal, another sebaceous movement from which we shall rise again to walk among those lurid pariahs of tomorrow

"From now on, you've got to pay attention to how you look," she said when they were back in the car. As he stared at the ravaged hands clutching the wheel, Gal felt they belonged to someone else. "You've got to be fashion-conscious," she was saying. "Fashion is the silliest, vainest game there is, which is exactly why it's so much fun. Do you know what clothes and makeup are for? Why we put them on? Just to take them off, to have something to strip away in order to feel naked. They are there to evoke what can’t be seen. But that, of course, is the joke, because when you strip off the clothes and wash all that makeup, what do you have? Hairstyle."

Obverse spirit
The translator of poetry must realize that word-for-word equivalents do not exist across languages, any more than piano sounds exist in the violin. The violin can, however, play recognizably the same music as the piano, but only if the violinist is guided by the nature and possibilities of the violin as well as by the original composition.

"It is common for animals to forage for food until satiated, and then spend most of their time doing nothing, or at least nothing in particular. They seek to satisfice, a portmanteau of satisfy and suffice, their needs rather than obtaining an optimal diet or habitat. Even diurnal animals, having limited amount of daylight in which to accomplish their tasks, follow this pattern. Social activity comes in a distant third to eating and resting for foraging animals. When more times must be spent foraging, animals are more likely to sacrifice time spent on aggressive behavior than time spent resting.
Extremely efficient predators have more free time and thus often appear more lazy than relatively inept predator that have little free time. "
