Caveat: 強固無比

I learned this four character aphorism on my building’s elevator last night.

強固無比
강고무비
gang.go.mu.bi
strong-firm-no-compare
“Incomparable strength and steadiness.”

It can be made into a descriptive verb, too: 강고무비하다. The underlying meaning of this 고사성어 seemed more transparent than most – the dictionary definition given for the aphorism is simply: 비교할 수 없이 굳세고 단단함 (Incomparable firmness and strength).

Caveat: Nonnet #20

(Poem #45 on new numbering scheme)

Joy
is not
easily
correlated
with other events.
Instead, it arises,
as if spontaneously,
immanent to the warp and woof
of quotidian experience.
