The last line of Lim Solah’s poem in the Korean plays on the difference between two ways to say goodbye—one would be used when you (the speaker) are sending off another person, and the other if you yourself are the departing person. To convey what is embedded into common Korean expressions for farewell, we’ve expanded the last line into two and attempted our own wordplay in the English.

What Sparks Poetry:
Charles Baxter on Theodore Roethke's "The Meadow Mouse"
"When a poem begins to pile up the similes, comparing an object to multiple other objects, there’s going to be trouble. Multiple similes signify instability. An emotional shift is likely to take place, a disappearance or a metamorphosis. What we get in the second part of 'The Meadow Mouse' is a disappearance." |
