"For a poem to be so easily written,

when life is so difficult,

is a matter of shame."

-A Poem Easily Written by Dongju Yoon, translated by Suh Hong Won

[sonokirin]

서시 (序詩)

죽는 날까지 하늘을 우러러 한 점 부끄럼이 없기를 잎새에 이는 바람에도 나는 괴로워했다 별을 노래하는 마음으로 모든 죽어 가는 것을 사랑해야지 그리고 나한테 주어진 길을 걸어가야겠다 오늘 밤에도 별이 바람에 스치운다

하늘과 바람과 별과 시 윤동주 - 1948

Prologue

Until the day I die, I look to the sky Without a single feeling of shame Yet, even amongst the leaves blown by the wind I have suffered With a heart that sings to the stars I shall love all dying things And for the path that has been offered to me I shall walk along it For once again tonight, the wind brushes against the stars

별 헤는 밤

계절이 지나가는 하늘에는

가을로 가득 차 있습니다.

나는 아무 걱정도 없이

가을 속의 별들을 다 헤일 듯합니다.

가슴 속에 하나 둘 새겨지는 별을

이제 다 못 헤는 것은

쉬이 아침이 오는 까닭이요,

내일 밤이 남은 까닭이요,

아직 나의 청춘이 다하지 않은 까닭입니다.

별 하나에 추억과

별 하나에 사랑과

별 하나에 쓸쓸함과

별 하나에 동경과

별 하나에 시와

별 하나에 어머니, 어머니,

어머님, 나는 별 하나에 아름다운 말 한마디씩 불러 봅니다. 소학교 때 책상을 같이 했던 아이들의 이름과, 패, 경, 옥, 이런 이국 소녀들의 이름과, 벌써 아기 어머니 된 계집애들의 이름과, 가난한 이웃 사람들의 이름과, 비둘기, 강아지, 토끼, 노새, 노루, '프랑시스 잠[1]', '라이너 마리아 릴케[2]' 이런 시인의 이름을 불러 봅니다.

이네들은 너무나 멀리 있습니다.

별이 아스라이 멀듯이.

어머님,

그리고 당신은 멀리 북간도에 계십니다.

나는 무엇인지 그리워

이 많은 별빛이 내린 언덕 위에

내 이름자를 써 보고

흙으로 덮어 버리었습니다.

따는 밤을 새워 우는 벌레는

부끄러운 이름을 슬퍼하는 까닭입니다.

그러나 겨울이 지나고 나의 별에도 봄이 오면

무덤 위에 파란 잔디가 피어나듯이

내 이름자 묻힌 언덕 위에도

자랑처럼 풀이 무성할 거외다.

If I had a dime for every chinese tv series I've watched where a newcomer joins a supernatural detective police unit, and in a final battle resists some power overtaking him by remembering the sense of belonging he felt at said unit, I'd have 2 dimes, which isnt a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

Prologue - Yun Dong-ju - South Korea

Translators: Chae-Pyong Song, Darcy Brandel (Korean)

Until the day I die I long to have no speck of shame when I gaze up toward heaven, so I have tormented myself, even when the wind stirs the leaves. With a heart that sings the stars, I will love all dying things. And I will walk the way that has been given to me.

Tonight, again, the wind brushes the stars.

Part of the reason I talk about the League of Nine so much aside from my personal hyperfixation and the interest in Korean literature it awoke in me, is that something that is completely lost in like 99% of western users is that Canto IV and the League of Nine's backstory was Heavily based on the Japanese occupation of Korea since this is the time where the real Yi Sang and Guinhoe lived. Even Mili's song for the Ruina collection Salt, Pepper, Birds and The Thought Police is, in fact made in honor of another author from this era Yun Dong-ju who actively stood up against the Japanese forces. Even Ruina's tagline is a reference to his book Sky, Wind, Stars, and Poetry and every chapter of Ruina starts with a quote from him.

It's very much undivorcable from this context but the information is very hard to access for non-Koreans and a lot of people don't really do the research but I want this aspect of the story to be acknowledged more, specially with the Blade Lineage's storyline highlighting more on the kind of displacement, alienation and corruption that led to them having to abandon their roots much like Limbus' reimagining of the Guinhoe. The reason Dongrang and Gubo are so villafied is because as the Guinhoe corrupted under the pressure of oppression those two were some of the worst offenders, actively writing propaganda and abandoning their people for the sake of siding with whoever benefited them best, and as someone who also grew up living through the aftereffects of colonialism and immigration it's all specially clear to me.

Though personally, I'm quite relieved that the fanwiki has also been updating with the proper resources in regards to the real life background and context, I recommend the pages for at least a more simplified rundown of a lot of the key details and the references made by each member in Canto IV (though it doesn't include some things I have talked about here before and I have made my resolution to contribute to it as well)

Up where the seasons pass,

the sky is filled with autumn.

In this untroubled quietude

I could almost count these autumn-couched stars.

But why I cannot now enumerate

those one or two stars in my breast

is because the dawn is breaking soon,

and I have tomorrow night in store,

and because my youth is not yet done.

Memory for one star,

love for another star,

sorrow for another star,

longing for another star,

poetry for another star,

and oh! mother for another star.

Mother! I try to call each star by some such evocative word, names of school children with whom I shared desks, names of alien girls like Pai Kyunh Ok, names of maidens who have already become mothers, names of neighbors who lived in poverty, names of birds and beasts like pigeon, puppy, rabbit, donkey, deer, and names of poets like Francis Jammes and Rainer Maria Rilke.

They are as far away

and intangible as the stars.

Mother!

You too are in the distant land of the Manchus.

Because I have a secret yearning,

seated on this star-showered bank,

I have written my name thereon

and covered it with earth.

In truth, it is because the insects chirp

all night to grieve over my bashful name.

But spring shall come to my stars after winter’s delay,

greening the turf over the graves,

so this bank that buries my name

shall proudly wear the grass again.
