These poems by "the happiest man in the world" are full of light
though written in dark times. Ch'on had the art of seeing the
beauty of life beyond all the pain, and of putting it into the
music of words. Recently, many young Koreans have discovered in
these poems and in the poet's life the innocence and honesty they
look for in vain in modern society. His poverty and his body broken
by torture never made Ch'on bitter or angry; his poems are hymns of
joy at the marvels of nature and the simple pleasures of life. His
greatest poem sees death, not as the end but as a journey "back to
heaven" where he plans to tell the angels how beautiful life in
this world can be.
