엄마들께, 그 동안 물을 흐려 놓은 장본인인 것 같아서, 죄송하고, 잠깐 잠수에 들어갑니다. 그 동안 많은 생각을 하였고, 새해초부터 구설수에 올랐으니, 한해 동안 입다물고 겸손하게 잘 살으라는 암시가 아닌가 생각해 보았습니다. 저 역시 잘난체 하고 돌아댕긴 인물중 하나이니, 머리 숙이고 반성해야겠습니다. 레이몬드님께도 행운을 빕니다. 언제가 우리 한번 만날 것 같지요? 저는 기억력의 한계가 3일입니다. 보기 보다 "단순"합니다. 언젠가일지는 모르지만(이글을 읽고 있을지 모르지만), 만나게 되면, 전 남아 있는 "감정의 여운"이 없을 겁니다. 그리고, 그냥 제 마음을 담아 이 시 한편 올리고, 저도 그만 들어가 보겠습니다. 그럼, 모두들 추운 날씨 건강하세요.
At the Crossroads
by Richard Hovey(1864-1900)
YOU to the left and I to the right,
For the ways of men must sever--
And it well may be for a day and a night,
And it well may be forever.
But whether we meet or whether we part
(For our ways are past our knowing),
A pledge from the heart to its fellow heart
On the ways we all are going!
Here's luck!
For we know not where we are going.
Whether we win or whether we lose
With the hands that life is dealing,
It is not we nor the ways we choose
But the fall of the cards that's sealing.
There's a fate in love and a fate in flight,
And the best of us all go under--
And whether we're wrong or whether we're right,
We win, sometimes, to our wonder.
Here's luck!
That we may not yet go under!
With a steady swing and an open brow
We have tramped the ways together,
But we're clasping hands at the crossroads now
In the Fiend's own night for weather;
And whether we bleed or whether we smile
In the leagues that lie before us
The ways of life are many a mile
And the dark of Fate is o'er us.
Here's luck!
And a cheer for the dark before us!
You to the left and I to the right,
For the ways of men must sever,
And it well may be for a day and a night,
And it well may be forever!
But whether we live or whether we die
(For the end is past our knowing),
Here's two frank hearts and the open sky,
Be a fair or an ill wind blowing!
Here's luck!
In the teeth of all winds blowing.
