A little dissection of Master Seo’s undelivered poem:
You cannot grasp water, but it is inside soil
You cannot touch fire, but it is inside the tree
You cannot hold the wind, but it is resting on the rock
These lines pertains to a thing stuck inside another object. Two things that coexist on the same place. It mirrors Mudeok’s situation right now.
If you let them be, they will exist everywhere
He might be saying that this kind of situation shall be prevented, since if one does nothing, others could also fall in this situation. So maybe it’s a bad thing — coexistence in one body.
The faint, blue light makes me sigh
The blue mark in the eyes is the sign of coexistence??
My white breath turned into snow and tears
He has regrets and was saddened about it. So maybe his lover was in this situation. As the founder of Daeho’s magic, he has the responsibility to protect the honor and dignity of Daeho, and fight against forbidden sorcery. So he had to kill her to protect the peace of the country.
I could not let them drop and hid them
He kept all of these a secret. That’s why, everyone in Daeho is clueless about coexistence.
Despite knowing that they will fill up once again, I am a fool who dares not shed a single tear
Again, his regets. Does he know that this situation would happen again in the future? But he remained silent about it until his death. Because no one has spoke about coexistence, not even a clue or a hint.
