半生爲有情所困。我愛人愛，纏綿不可解。雖鳥獸，飼而馴之，輒戀其主人。花則不然，我愛而彼漠然無情，故可喜也。 [Korean Literary Sinitic, trad.]- From: 《古芸堂筆記/고운당필기》, 1790s
- Bansaeng wi yujeong so gon. A ae in ae, jeonmyeon bulga hae. Su jogeum, sa i hun ji, cheop ryeon gi ju'in. Hwa jeuk buryeon, a ae i pi magyeon mujeong, go ga hui ya. [Sino-Korean]
- For half a lifetime, I have been prisoner to strong feelings. If I love someone, they love me back, and we are entangled and cannot become free of each other. Even for birds and animals, if you feed and train them, they will always love their master. But flowers: they are not like this. If I love a flower, it remains apathetic and feelingless. That is why flowers are pleasant.
- (of disease) lingering
- (of tune) melodious and moving
