This trust in the past comes perhaps from the fact the world, here, has hardly budged since its creation

A new boat can be built without throwing away the sea, says a Gorgolian proverb. All the new Korea is built on
ancient soil, a thousand times overturned and wounded, beneath which -like blind rivers, lakes of solvent-
stretch the weary souls of warriors, the ductile souls of separated lovers, the skeptical souls of innumerable
literati destroyed by the tyrants.
