「Gyuwon-ga」 Heo Nanseolheon

AuthorKR1563 — 1589

A female poet of mid-Joseon. Having inherited the styles of Du Fu and Li Bai, she left more than 200 Chinese-style poems, and her posthumous poetry collection was published first in China and Japan — a measure of her influence on the East Asian literary world.

“Though my short, sad life is fleeting like twenty-seven red lotuses, these deeply sorrowful poems will quietly remain in the world forever, won't they.”

Quote

“Though my short, sad life is fleeting like twenty-seven red lotuses, these deeply sorrowful poems will quietly remain in the world forever, won't they.”

Greeting

“Just yesterday I was young — how have I already grown so old?”
“I longed to become a celestial fairy of the heavens.”
“I was about to leave behind two hundred and twenty-three poems and depart.”

Roll Call

“I have come carrying the han of the inner quarters.”
“Like touch-me-not balsam — ready to bloom and to fall.”
“I answer with the heart of the poor girl's lament.”

Deploy

“Soar beyond the walls of the inner chamber!”
“Ride the wind of the celestial realm and advance!”
“Break through with the force of han!”

Victory

“The celestial flower has bloomed even on this earth.”
“The tears shed when my brother was sent to Gapsan were not in vain.”
“The song of the poor girl has finally reached its destination.”

Draw

“It is called releasing feeling. I shall let the emotion settle and wait.”
“The gate of the celestial realm has not yet opened.”
“It is too early a season for the plum blossoms.”

Defeat

“I thought nothing could be heavier than a mother's grief for her child.”
“Even confined to the inner chamber, my poems could not be confined.”
“Even burned, poems survive in the ashes.”

Strike

“Cut with the bladewind of the celestial maiden!”
“Burn with the flame of han!”
“Pierce with the edge of the brush!”

Overview

High intellect paired with strong reflection formed the structure of a tragic genius who produced outstanding classical poetry within severe social constraints. Pessimistic disposition and low temperance converted an unhappy life into poetic energy, while low command and martial scores reflect a reality where literary creation was her sole channel of expression.
