Pi Cheon-deuk’s Essay Theory

An essay is like a green porcelain inkstone. An essay is like an orchid, a crane, or a graceful lady. It’s not a youthful piece of writing, nor does it provide thrill to the reader. An essay is a stroll for the mind. It contains the lingering fragrance and resonance of life.

An essay is not a sparkling soda or a throat-tickling cola. It’s like green tea imbued with a subtle, clear green hue. A cup of it holds the sky and the earth. The taste of tea leaves from thousand-year-old trees that have absorbed the rain, wind, sunlight, and clouds.
