An Indiscretion of a Translator

---------------------

Temporal and spatial relationships should not be dismissed, ignored, or reversed. They should be handled with care.

Text:
University's most famous student, Percy Bysshe Shelley, enrolled in 1810 as a chemistry student. He lasted about a year, expelled not because he had used his knowledge to set up a small still in his room to make liquor, but because of his paper "The Necessity of Atheism." By 1894, Univ had reclaimed Shelley, in the form of a beautiful marble statue of the dead poet, who drowned off the coast of Italy in his late twenties. (My Life, Bill Clinton, p.139) (The Korean version, p.207)

Dano's comments:
I wondered why so many Korean writers liked to involve their imagination into the interpretative works. Here in this case the temporal relationships are very important. Shelley's ouster from the college was caused by his disbelief in God and its public incitement, not by liquor brewery.
