Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 969
Every invention already in existence or yet to be, was known to him, and much more; still everything on earth has a limit.
이미 존재하거나 앞으로 생겨날 모든 발명품이 그에게 알려져 있었고, 그보다 훨씬 더 많은 것들도 그러했다. 그럼에도 이 세상의 모든 것에는 한계가 있었다.
The wise king Solomon was not half so wise as this man.
지혜로운 솔로몬 왕도 이 사람의 지혜에는 절반도 미치지 못했다.
He could govern the powers of nature and held sway over potent spirits; even Death itself was obliged to give him every morning a list of those who were to die during the day.
그는 자연의 힘을 다스릴 수 있었고 강력한 영들을 지배했으며, 심지어 죽음 자체도 매일 아침 그날 죽게 될 사람들의 목록을 그에게 바쳐야 했다.
And King Solomon himself had to die at last, and this fact it was which so often occupied the thoughts of this great man in the castle on the Tree of the Sun.
그리고 솔로몬 왕 자신도 결국 죽어야 했으며, 이 사실이야말로 태양나무의 성에 사는 이 위대한 사람의 생각을 그토록 자주 사로잡는 것이었다.
He knew that he also, however high he might tower above other men in wisdom, must one day die.
그는 자신도, 지혜에 있어서 다른 사람들보다 아무리 높이 우뚝 서 있다 하더라도, 언젠가는 죽어야 한다는 것을 알고 있었다.
He knew that his children would fade away like the leaves of the forest and become dust.
그는 자신의 자녀들이 숲의 나뭇잎처럼 시들어 사라져 먼지가 될 것임을 알고 있었다.
He saw the human race wither and fall like leaves from the tree; he saw new men come to fill their places, but the leaves that fell off never sprouted forth again; they crumbled to dust or were absorbed into other plants.
그는 인류가 나무에서 잎이 지듯 시들어 떨어지는 것을 보았고, 그 자리를 채우러 새로운 사람들이 오는 것을 보았다. 그러나 떨어진 잎들은 다시는 싹을 틔우지 못했으며, 먼지로 부서지거나 다른 식물들에 흡수될 뿐이었다.
