Kŭm River - Scene 9
SCENE 9 (Extracts)
Who says that they have seen the sky?
Who says that they have ever seen the sky
clear without one single cloud?
What you have seen is dark clouds
that you have taken for the sky
— you have kept on living.
Sweep away, human kind,
the clouds within your hearts.
By morning and night,
sweep away the clouds within your hearts,
and you will see
Eternity's sky spotless and clear,
and you will bring knowledge
of awe.
Take the utmost care,
be careful even in walking,
keep your heart serene;
sorrowfully,
ah, in this solemn world,
you will live
sorrowfully.
