The Orange

Description
Book Introduction
“Sometimes roundly, sometimes cleverly
Understanding the yellowed nails with affection
“Quietly knocking on the dull world with refreshing sadness” _ Poet Yoo Su-yeon
The appearance of the poem is particularly colorful.
There are some delightful attempts that seem to be dancing, and others that seem to be in the strangest poses in the world.
There are poems that are endlessly cool, and there are poems that melt the heart with affection.
Among these poems with such diverse faces, there is one that has recently captivated the younger generation in the English-speaking world.
This is 『The Orange』 by British poet Wendy Cope.
orange
I bought a large orange for lunch-
Everyone burst out laughing at its size.
I peeled them and gave them to Robert and Dave-
They each took a quarter and I took half.
I was so happy because of that orange.
Ordinary things are often like that,
Especially these days.
Going to the market, or taking a walk in the park.
Everything is peaceful and satisfying.
Again, I'm sorry.
I spent the rest of the day comfortably.
While doing everything that needs to be done
It was fun and I had some free time later.
love you.
It's so good to be alive.
Her poetry, written in everyday language, is easily understandable to anyone, but the weight of the message contained within is by no means light.
It is a collection of 31 poems with deep and gentle resonance, including the representative poem 『The Orange』.
Chapter 1 contains a translation of the poem, and Chapter 2 contains the original text.
The translation of Chapter 1 was supervised by poet Yoo Su-yeon, author of “Love and Kindness Falls,” who worked with Korean readers to create beautiful poetic language so that they could easily access English poetry.
Through the original English text of Chapter 2, you can fully experience Wendy Cope's signature refreshing rhyme, rhythm, and lovely humor.

Into the book
I was so happy because of that orange,
Ordinary things are often like that,
Especially these days.
Also, looking at the market.
Even taking a walk in the park.
Everything is peaceful and satisfying.
It's a new feeling
--- p.13 From "Orange"
People said.
Men are the same, they hurt the same
I'm worried, I'm so worried,
Just in case that's wrong.
--- p.19 From "I'm Worried"
What I really wanted was someone to stay at home with,
Now that I have found someone to settle down with safely,
If you have one ambition in life, I hope it will be
I hope I can continue to be bored.
--- p.44 From "Being Bored"
I can't promise I'll never get angry.
I can't promise to always be kind to you.
…
But I'm still the person you want to be with
You are that kind of person to me too - that much is certain.
You are my best friend, my favorite person,
Ordinary things are often like that,
Especially these days.
Also, looking at the market.
Even taking a walk in the park.
Everything is peaceful and satisfying.

Publisher's Review
“I don’t have any dreams.
“I just want to be happy.”
The current generation, also known as the worst generation, actually doesn't have many wishes.
They say.
“I don’t have any dreams.
“I just want to be a little happy.” The happiness they speak of is very small and simple things, like the laughter that bursts out when seeing a big orange, like the lines in the poem “Orange,” people around you with whom you can share an orange, small purchases, good weather, and a walk in the middle of the day.
But in modern society, even these small things must be achieved through effort.
We, who are tired of our daily lives where the obvious is not obvious, need 'an orange'.
“This life may seem like a failure, but I still have to try.”
'You have to try.
Get psychological counseling, learn this and that, eat good food, and cut down on snacking.
Don't smoke and stay away from alcohol.
(...) But nothing changes, the future is bleak.' - From "Write More Lightly"
The days when enjoying the present without thinking about tomorrow was a symbol of youth are over.
For today's 2030 generation, being physically and mentally healthy is a well-established formula for being hip.
In the midst of trends such as slow aging, newborns, and text hips, we strive harder than anyone else to live a better life.
However, no matter how much you struggle, you feel despair and collapse at the sight of life and society that do not change.
“Write more lightly” in the text captures this reality concisely and clearly.
Through her self-deprecating humor, we find empathy and comfort, and the courage to live on despite it all.
The fragments of ordinary daily life come together to become our lives.
Wendy Cope's poetry captures moments that sparkle in the ordinary, reminding us of the small joys we often forget.
