Atlantis: The Antedeluvian World — Page 1
The world has made such comet-like advance
세상은 혜성처럼 눈부신 발전을 이루어
Lately on science, we may almost hope,
최근 과학 분야에서, 우리는 거의 바랄 수 있으리,
Before we die of sheer decay, to learn
우리가 순전한 쇠락으로 죽기 전에, 알게 되기를
Something about our infancy; when lived
우리의 유년기에 대한 무언가를; 그 시절에 살았던
That great, original, broad-eyed, sunken race,
저 위대하고, 독창적이며, 넓은 눈을 가진, 침몰한 종족을,
Whose knowledge, like the sea-sustaining rocks,
그들의 지식은, 바다를 떠받치는 바위처럼,
Hath formed the base of this world's fluctuous lore
이 세상의 변동하는 지식의 토대를 이루어 왔노니
FESTUS.
