Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen — Page 979
I can smell," he would say; and he attributed to the sense of smelling, which he possessed in a high degree, a great power in the region of the beautiful.
"나는 냄새를 맡을 수 있어," 그는 말하곤 했다. 그리고 그는 자신이 매우 뛰어나게 지닌 후각에, 아름다움의 영역에서 커다란 힘이 있다고 여겼다.
"I can smell," he would say, "and many places are fragrant or beautiful according to the taste of the frequenters.
"나는 냄새를 맡을 수 있어," 그는 말하곤 했다. "그리고 많은 장소들은 그곳을 자주 찾는 사람들의 취향에 따라 향기롭거나 아름답지.
One man feels at home in the atmosphere of the tavern, among the flaring tallow candles, and when the smell of spirits mingles with the fumes of bad tobacco.
어떤 사람은 활활 타오르는 수지 양초들 사이, 술 냄새가 나쁜 담배 연기와 뒤섞이는 선술집의 분위기 속에서 편안함을 느낀다.
Another prefers sitting amidst the overpowering scent of jasmine, or perfuming himself with scented olive oil.
또 다른 사람은 압도적인 재스민 향기 속에 앉아 있거나, 향기로운 올리브 오일로 몸을 향기롭게 하는 것을 좋아한다.
This man seeks the fresh sea breeze, while that one climbs the lofty mountain-top, to look down upon the busy life in miniature beneath him."
이 사람은 신선한 바닷바람을 찾고, 저 사람은 높은 산꼭대기에 올라 아래에 축소된 듯 펼쳐진 분주한 삶을 내려다본다."
As he spoke in this way, it seemed as if he had already been out in the world, as if he had already known and associated with man.
그가 이런 식으로 말할 때, 마치 그가 이미 세상에 나가 본 것처럼, 이미 사람들을 알고 어울려 본 것처럼 보였다.
But this experience was intuitive--it was the poetry within him, a gift from Heaven bestowed on him in his cradle.
그러나 이 경험은 직관적인 것이었다. 그것은 그의 내면에 있는 시심이었으며, 요람에서부터 하늘이 그에게 내린 선물이었다.
He bade farewell to his parental roof in the Tree of the Sun, and departed on foot, from the pleasant scenes that surrounded his home.
그는 태양의 나무에 있는 부모의 집에 작별을 고하고, 자신의 집을 둘러싼 아름다운 풍경을 뒤로한 채 걸어서 떠났다.
