Eungyo —

 "I, Lee Jeokyo, am old.

    To grow old is to wear a suit of lead 

   you have never worn before. The poet Roethke once said:

   Just as your youth is not a prize won by your own effort,

   my old age is not a punishment I was handed for my own fault."


This English version was translated by Claude.
