Eugene Onegin
Why do we turn away when it is within reach, only to long for it after it is lost?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first read this novel in verse, I let out a deep sigh at the folly of Onegin, who, sunk in boredom, spurned a love that was real. Pushkin's insight is how elegantly and sharply he captures the tragedy of human timing and the irony of feelings that pass each other by. Through the regret of a man who armed himself with cynicism, never knowing the preciousness of ordinary days, I am made to ask, with painful honesty, how I am treating the sincere hearts beside me now.

"행복은 그렇게도 가깝고, 그렇게도 가능했는데!"
