Yun dong-ju poem on T-shirt inside Nampo-dong Lotte Mart--Busan









Lotte Mart in Nampo-dong. Here's the complete poem:

Prelude

Wishing not to have
so much as a speck of shame

toward heaven until the day I die,
I suffered, even when the wind stirred the leaves.

With my heart singing to the stars,
I shall love all things that are dying.

And I must walk the road
that has been given to me.

Tonight, again, the stars are
brushed by the wind.

--Yun Dong-ju (as translated by Kyungnyun K. Richards & Steffen F. Richards)

And here's another translation, as spotted on a shop window in Gimcheon.
