Abstract

This article aims to investigate on the symmetry as the principle of a writing in Lee Sang’s poetry. The negativity in his poetry is expressed in many aspects, so to call it, ‘the ego in the mirror’, ‘the wife in the home’ and ‘the father or psedo-christ in the tradition’. There are the symmetry between the outer and inner layer of these aspects. But this symmetry is not restored to sameness, because of lack and surplus in this symmetry. Therefore we have to investigate the mode and meaning of this symmetry elaborately. His statement(“Despair engenders artistic technic and technic produces despair again.”) shows up his principle and methodology in the his writing. The recurrence to a despair announces a failure of self-reproducing automaton, i.e., a failure of self-denial automaton to us. We confirm this through 「Dec. 12.」, 「poetry no. 4」 and 「poetry no. 15」. The core of a problem in these poetry is ‘ventriloquism’ which he said as "a storehouse of language". This means that the decal in his poetry is a technic to produce the symmetrical point of ego. Also his ‘ventriloquism’ strengthens the recurring despair to restrict him within spiritual death.
