Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 758
The poor Incapable! But Incapables cannot be admitted into the empire of Art.
불쌍한 무능력자여! 하지만 무능력자는 예술의 제국에 들어올 수 없다.
He had deep feeling, and loved his art enthusiastically, but the art loved not him.
그는 깊은 감정을 지녔고 자신의 예술을 열정적으로 사랑했지만, 예술은 그를 사랑하지 않았다.
The prompter's bell sounded; 'the hero enters with a determined air,' so ran the stage direction in his part, and he had to appear before an audience who turned him into ridicule.
프롬프터의 종이 울렸다. '영웅이 결연한 태도로 등장한다'라는 것이 그의 배역에 적힌 무대 지시였고, 그는 자신을 조롱하는 관객 앞에 나서야 했다.
When the piece was over, I saw a form wrapped in a mantle, creeping down the steps: it was the vanquished knight of the evening.
공연이 끝났을 때, 나는 망토에 몸을 감싸고 계단을 내려오는 한 모습을 보았다. 그것은 그날 저녁의 패배한 기사였다.
The scene-shifters whispered to one another, and I followed the poor fellow home to his room.
무대 전환원들이 서로 속삭였고, 나는 그 불쌍한 사내를 따라 그의 방까지 갔다.
To hang one's self is to die a mean death, and poison is not always at hand, I know; but he thought of both.
목을 매는 것은 비참한 죽음이고, 독약이 항상 손에 있는 것도 아님을 나는 안다. 하지만 그는 두 가지 모두를 생각했다.
I saw how he looked at his pale face in the glass, with eyes half closed, to see if he should look well as a corpse.
나는 그가 반쯤 눈을 감은 채 거울 속 창백한 자신의 얼굴을 바라보며, 시체가 되었을 때 보기 좋을지 살펴보는 것을 지켜보았다.
A man may be very unhappy, and yet exceedingly affected.
사람은 매우 불행하면서도 동시에 지극히 감상적일 수 있다.
He thought of death, of suicide; I believe he pitied himself, for he wept bitterly, and when a man has had his cry out he doesn't kill himself.
그는 죽음을, 자살을 생각했다. 나는 그가 스스로를 가엾이 여겼다고 믿는다. 그는 몹시 울었고, 실컷 울고 나면 사람은 자신을 죽이지 않는 법이다.
"Since that time a year had rolled by. Again a play was to be acted, but in a little theatre, and by a poor strolling company.
"그로부터 일 년이 흘렀다. 다시 한 번 연극이 공연될 예정이었지만, 이번에는 작은 극장에서, 가난한 유랑 극단에 의해서였다.
Again I saw the well-remembered face, with the painted cheeks and the crisp beard.
나는 다시 그 잘 기억되는 얼굴을 보았다. 분을 바른 뺨과 뻣뻣한 수염을 가진 그 얼굴을.
