The Title of this Blog

The title of this blog comes from the first line of a poem attributed to Hwang Chini (?-1530), a Korean kisaeng sijo poet.

山은 녯山이로되 물은 녯물 안이로다
晝夜에 흘은이 녯물이 이실쏜야
人傑도 물과 같도다 가고 안이 오노뫼라.

Rough translation: The mountains are the old mountains, but the water is not the old water
It flows day and night, so how could it be the old water?
Great people are like water: They go and never return.
