SIMCHEONG-GA

And, what I hear? Is not this about being in the shrine after death? Or, do I dream not for dream? My no less loving daughter Sim Cheong is to die the death. Nor how, how she, my dear daughter is here so well? But what now, my love! And, my gracious daughter, thou I want to see! Ay, true miss my eyes, or whilst I can see my daughter. 0, this heaviness! So blocked! Blinking and clinking, and so his eyes are flashed.

For ever Blind Sim's opening, every blind men man, therefore open thy eyes. So that every blind men man open thy eyes. How? Is it but this how. Which sounds of striping bindweed in Damyang and Sunchang ofJeonra Province; whack and whack- what thou every closed eyes are to open. Long journey to the grand feast for three months, thou blind men take time to open as homecoming. And with others not to reach thereof; to open along the way. How now, thou eyes! 0 go, to open! 0 come, to open! 0 stand, to open! 0 sit, to open! 0 silly, to open! 0 poor, to open! 0 anger, to open! 0 tears, to open! 0 laughter, to open! 0 open, to open! Or else open such bracing! Or else open such playing! 0 that opening to awake from sleeping! 0 that opening to flash from a doze! And thence the whole universe has everyone from creepers till winged tribes; opening eyes at once. Now happy be found the radiant world!
