김춘수 시에 있어서의‘천사’의 시적 변용

Abstract

Being a modernist as well as a specific stylist in korean world of poetry, Kim-Chunsu made angels ‘epistemological topic’by introducing‘ angels’in his poetic activities constantly and repeatedly for over 60 years . The first angel was ‘the angel of creation’, ‘the angel of transfiguration’as ‘the angel of childhood’that brings on changes to all things under the sun. The poet takes note of ‘the space of eternal silence’which the angel owns. This means it contains the dark fear of the Only Self in front of(facing) the world. It tells the epistemological ground of his early poetic world. The second angel of the poet accepts pantheistic angel of Rilke. It is not the symbol of the Christian, the one and only God, but the angel of the whole of creation scattered in all nature. It is a pantheistic angel of Rilke. but there is another aspect in the angel of Kim-Chunsu.:Namely, the angel of Rilke is the narcissistic being which is disconnected with a human being, on the other hand, the angel of Kim-Chunsu is the angel of mutual helping being who makes a little heart revive behind the back of the dead boy. Besides, there are ‘flames of world’and ‘a dead boy’and ‘night of darkness in the background of the angel Kim Chun-su had introduced. Therefore, Kim Chun-su had brought on an angel to grasp the limit and the tragedy of human being’s life through the relationship with the heavenly(eternal) existence. The third angel of the poet is‘ an angel whose whole body is made of eye’said by theologist Cestoff in Russian Orthodox Church. Therefore, the ‘angel’is a device to show the pain of the world, and transcendency of the heaven when it watches the death of Jesus. The poet also called Sonja ‘an angel’in the novel, 『Crime and Punishment 』of Dostoevsky to investigate the tragedy of human body and the transcendency surpassing the limit of human body. And the poet says the angel’s eye is still watching Raskolinikov. This is an allegory to reveal ontological uneasiness. for the subject standing in front of the world. The last angel as‘ the angel of everyday lives’became harmonious with all the past angels. Sometimes it appears with the shape of ‘the eye of the mirror’, it sometimes awakens him with the verse:“ there is the word,‘ Dear!’for me, instead of the word,‘ an angel.”(『two still objects』)An ideological(abstract) topic becomes harmonious in daily life. The angel covered with ideological skin leaves the cocoon and instead the voice of the subject is filled in the place. ‘The angel of everyday lives’speaks for his last criticism of poems. : Feeling is the truth.
