DAY 310

The Silence of Love

Han Yong-un · 1926
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

How is lost love sublimated into great hope?

📝ONGO's Reflection

When I read the line "Ah, my beloved has gone, but I have not let my beloved go," my heart grew hot with the immense power of a love that grasps for hope at the very edge of despair. Han Yong-un, known as Manhae, transposes the grief of a lost homeland into the parting of lovers, insisting that parting is not an ending but a waiting for a new meeting. When you need the comfort of a heart that does not break even amid trial, open this collection of poems.

— ONGO · Curator
"Just as we fear parting when we meet, we believe we will meet again when we part."
Han Yong-un, The Silence of Love
"우리는 만날 때에 떠날 것을 염려하는 것과 같이, 떠날 때에 다시 만날 것을 믿습니다."
