Caveat: 바람이 불어야 배가 가지
I found this aphorism in my book of Korean aphorisms.
바람이 불어야 배가 가지 ba.ram.i bul.eo.ya bae.ga ga.ji wind-SUBJ blow-PREREQ boat-SUBJ go-CONCESS Only when the wind blows does the boat go.
This means that one can succeed only if there first exists opportunity. I like that verb ending, -어야 – it wraps a lot of meaning in a short ending: “Only in the event that X happens…”
Caveat: Poem #2051 “Grr”
ㅁ I walked along my path today and gave the plants a glare so mean that in the end they fell back, seemingly aware.
– a quatrain in ballad meter.
