Im Kyŏng on
Hyŏnho’s Trivial Tales (Compendium of Remarks on Poetry)
Entry Text
林德涵。文詞贍裕。晚年志于學。沈濳經傳。其一句云。虛簷月動江山色。靜夜書開宇宙心。農岩金仲和聞之。亟加歎賞或以為。宇宙心三字。瓠落無實。未免為疵。豈仲和未之細究而然耶
Im Yŏng was a prolific writer. In his late years, he dedicated himself to study and delved into the Classics. A phrase by him reads, 虛檐月動江山色靜夜書開宇宙心 Over the empty eaves, the moon moves the hues of rivers and mountains.On a quiet night, the book opens the heart of Heaven and Earth. Kim Ch’anghyŏp gave it an utmost praise when he heard it. But some thought the expression “the heart of Heaven and Earth” is grandiose (horak) and insubstantial (musil). That Kim did not notice this flaw (cha), couldn’t it be because he did not examine the poem carefully?
