ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to know the structure, form, expression and theme of narration poem(사설시) which Kim, young-suk had sought. As a result, the structure of narration poem is to be alluded from ancient poetries, derived from Samgukyusa(삼국유사) form conjoined in one structure with folk tales and native songs, and borrowed from pansori(판소리) form which demonstrates narration(아니리) and singing(창). The verse part in Kim, young-suk’s narration poem has ‘solution’ character to the questions come up for in his prose part. The verse part takes types to turn into prose after philosophical and conscientious and lively things presented like telling a story in the prose part. The prose part is mobilized by a narration form without his subjectivity, but the verse part is formed with his overall condensed subjectivity presenting contents in his prose part. Poetry Two Heavens is about the death of a friend who has serious ‘fastidiousness’ and strong ‘purity.’ The person who was smart and worked as a tax administration agent killed himself leaving nine family members including half-brothers. It’s the reason of the tragedy that he lived in ‘deprived heaven’ instead of ‘pure heaven’ to do the work of a head of household. It’s well showed the tragedy which can’t be departed with two heavens in life on the ground through Kim, young-suk’s narration poem. ‘Maesani(매사니)’ is a person who doesn’t have a shadow, ‘Gesani(게사니)’ is a shadow which doesn’t have a person in poetry Maesani and Gesani. A shadow is ‘the unconscious world which is controled by subjects adhering to reason,’ judging from the fact that doesn’t happen among children. This ‘unconscious world’ can represent the being of the world which exists only one mirror(words) after disappearing two mirrors(air-universe) in poetry Sand Land in Mirror. The world to be one with air, universe, and words is subject to mind not to be divided this world(nature) by personified God(human)’s Words, as it’s naturally dark after oak trees moving into oaks and poison oaks moving into poison oaks. It means One World which becomes one with air, universe, and words, that is, ‘not divided nature’ by reasonal thinking in imagination of doctrine. This poetry embodies the doctrine to be converged into One World because ‘white’ in ‘a white bird frying to eyelashes’ means One World.
