Hogok’s Remarks on Poetry (Compendium of Remarks on Poetry)
Entry Text
洪九言受疇赴慶源之路。到高山驛。督郵元命汝不在矣。留詩以贈曰。我到高山驛。誰彈流水琴。懷人不能去。明月上遙岑。可謂警作。命汝誦傳於其時方伯李公瑞雨。李擊節嘆賞曰。九言詩才。當為君輩儕流之冠。
On the road to Kyŏngwŏn in Hamgyŏng province to take his post, Hong Suju 洪受疇 (1642–1704; styled Kuŏn) reached Kosan station. County Administrator (togu) Wŏn Sŏngyu 元聖兪 (17th century; styled Myŏngŏ) was away at the time, so Hong left a poem for him. His poem said, 我到高山驛誰彈流水琴懷人不能寐明月上遙岑 I arrived at Kosan station.Who is playing “Flowing Waters” on the zither? Missing you, I cannot sleep.Bright moon ascends the distant hill. The poem can be called a striking verse (kyŏngjak). When Wŏn recited the poem to then Governor (kwanch’alsa) Yi Sŏu, Yi applauded in a high praise and said, “As for poetic talent, Hong must be the crown in your group.”
