Abstract

This manuscript focused on the image of ‘flower’ and ‘dream’ which is from Kang, SoCheon’s children’s poem; 『Pumpkin flower a canful』. SoCheon used nature words in his poem such as ‘sky’, ‘cloud’, ‘moon’, ‘wood’, ‘wind’, ‘snow’, ‘hen’, ‘deer’, ‘dandelion’, and ‘pumkin flower’. His poem also had a good command of nature’s bright and vivid world. Like this, almost all his literature has a nature of beautiful and quite hometown and love. As is shown by SoCheon’s literature such as ‘hen’, ‘moonlit night’, and ‘antler’, he usually creates eternity, dream and power to Nations and Peoples in his literature. A symbolic meaning of ‘flower’ and ‘dream’ which are main words in this manuscript is also occupied an important meaning in his all literature images. A word of ‘flower’ appeared easily in SoCheon’s poem, the word ‘flower’ means ‘bloom’, which means dream and hope. For example, ‘flower’ which will bloom and ‘Mugunghwa’ which must bloom in 『Antler』 and ‘bud’ which is for blooming in 『Whisper of Drizzle』 are all existence which has hope and possibility. The flower has our nation’s dream which do not bloom in dark Japanese imperialism. SoCheon used nature-friendly words for maximizing his literature; the word ‘flower’ is not only just a ‘flower’ but also ‘dream’. As is shown earlier children’s poem, SoCheon’s literature draws a dream without exception. Whereas if we look at his poem which uses ‘sky’ as his writing material, small sky with shower is ray of hope to Peoples who lives with a tragic reality in 『Small Sky』. Even though small sky, a roving well ‘beautiful cloud’ symbolize Nation’s ‘beautiful dream’. Pursuing an ideal world through children’s world is a dream world to SoCheon. Seeing a blue sky while waiting a mother in 『The Autumn Sky』 is also colligating implicitness images; blue sky represents a dreaming space of nation’s independence which will come true someday. As narrator waits mother in 『The Autumn sky』, Mother Nature is like a ‘mother’s bosom’ When we hug mother’s bosom, we can make a dream fearlessly. Furthermore when we sleep in mother’s bosom, we feel like dream is almost come true. The nature is like a mother’s bosom to Socheon.
