셰이머스 히니의 『영혼 측정』에 대한 연구: 기억 모음과 죽음 준비

This paper aims to give a proper translation of and explanation to Heaney’s later work, The Spirit Level. Since Seeing Things, Heaney has tried to make a crossing from the visible towards the invisible, whose biggest motivation is the death of his parents. Heaney seems to want The Spirit Level to be an immortal urn keeping the traces of memories of his childhood, parents, and acquaintances. Meanwhile, many of his poems are written in the form of sonnet, elegy and pastiche for dedication, which means Heaney is preparing for his coming death.
