한용운의 시 「알 수 없어요」에 나타난 긴장의 양상

Abstract

The article aims to review various aspects of tension presented in <I Can't Know> the main poem of Han Yong-un. Tension in <I Can't Know> is formed between description on sensuous objects and statements on abstract being, and between traditional poetry format in the cultural sphere of Chinese characters and attempt to seek freestyle of modern poetry. And aspects of tension in several parts of the poem prevent the meaning of the poem from converged and fixed as one and conserve space to create it continuously at the same time. In spite of repeating statements of 'Can't know whom', it can be interpreted not only as denial of 'whom' but also as emphasis of 'whom', and it is related to the form of this tension. Though the reality is faced with an obstacle, strong faith on an invisible world presents a certain perspective. Negative view on the reality does not fall into despair, because there is trust in the heart. <I Can’t Know> delivers a metaphysical being vividly with delicate description on visible world in Han Yong-un’s poems. This is why readers recognize appearance of a ‘Lover’ as real, despite of absence of ‘Lover’, the core word of the poem Silence of Lover.
