이육사 시의 낙원 의식 연구

Abstract

Yook-Sah Lee starts his prolific writing as a poet by publishing a congratulatory poem, "Horse." He and Dong-Joo Yoon are recognized as nationalist or resistance poets. Even though the poetry of Lee does not seem to be complicated, it is not easy to understand because his poetry is composed of dialects of the Kyung-sang province, especially Ahn-dong dialects. From the 1920s to the 1940s when Lee started his activity as a poet, Japan ruled according to a system of fascism. His poetry represents the difficulty of the period. The reality of his poetry is based on the loss of homeland. It is the loss of time and paradise. Lee is a great martyr who fights wholeheartedly with the thought of confrontation and passes away alone. His path through Japan, China, Ahn-dong and Seoul is an adventure to seek a lost paradise; to express his will to extend the region of body and soul, and the space of earth to the northern land and heights; and set up paradise. Lee sings of rainbows and the Sun, but he does not establish a celestial paradise or a Heaven. He tries to sow the paradise in the desert and wilderness. His poetry sings of a paradise established on loss and waiting, and wilderness and birth. He lets us sing as much as we would like from the bottom of our heart in this paradise.
