이용악 시에 나타난 ‘수직’의 운동성과 그 성격

Abstract

In Lee Yongak’s poems, the poverty and impoverishment of the “reality” as well as the failure and loss of the narrator are not overcome by the wandering process, which is a horizontal movement that characterizes Lee Yongak’s poems. Rather, the violence of the reality is even more stirred up and confirmed in front of the port before sailing, river surrounding the nature and inside of a train. In this process, Lee Yongak’s poems expose the reality of the world by demonstrating the fragmented reality via allegory. In order to overcome the tragedy featured by the horizontal process, the narrators of Lee Yongak’s poems seek for a vertical process based on the motility of ascendence and descent. The vertical process is demonstrated by dreaming of the ground from the underground or by aspiring to soar up to the “sky.” “Sky” and “north” are the subjects of the movement and also the targets of accomplishment. However, “sky” and “north” do not appear as the specific alternatives to overcome the reality but only mediate their symbolic meanings. This is a process to overcome the reality and fracture demonstrated in the allegory based on the “organic totality.” However, the point of intention does not contribute to overcoming the reality but rather prompts reflection of the history within the “providence” and “reason” of surrounding the world. It only affects the narrator’s attitude rather than impacting the reality. That is, Lee Yongak’s poems demonstrate the reality in detail using the allegory but uses symbols in the course of conquest to show the desires within the universality.
