만국기는 내 기억의 오랜 저 편, 모퉁이의 그늘에서 기다림에 지쳐 있었다. 늘 새로운 재미에 목말라 하던 어린 동심사이에서 운동회라는 이름의 들뜬 시간 속으로 몰아가던 만국기.
The flags of all nations, tucked away in the distant folds of my memory, waited—weary in the shadow of a corner. They once stirred the air with excitement, drawing children—ever thirsty for new delights—into the rapture of a day called Sports Festival.

하늘, 만국기 그리고 아직은 섣부른 학생들의 요람은 하나의 경계를 두고서 모두가 지는 해를 품고 있다 한다. 3분의 1보다 조금 모자라게, 하지만 그래서 내가 그리고자 하던 하늘은 스스로 기대했던 것 보다 조금은 더 큰 영역을 차지하게 됐나보다.
The sky, the flags, and the cradle of students still too unripe—they all hold the setting sun within them, divided by a single invisible border. Slightly less than a third—and yet, because of that, perhaps the sky I sought to paint came to occupy a space larger than I ever imagined.

이제서야 가끔은 저 만국기를 나부끼게 하기 위해 애쓴 수고의 손길에도 나의 초라한 배려가 스쳐갈 수 있다.
Only now, at last, can even my meager care brush past those hands that once strove
to make those flags flutter.

지는 해는 오늘과 내일의 경계를 일깨워 주기도 한다.
The setting sun, at times, reminds us of the border between today and tomorrow.
