On the Beach at Night Alone
BY WALT WHITMAN
On the beach at night alone,
As the old mother sways her to and fro singing her husky song,
As I watch the bright stars shining, I think a thought of the clef of the universes and of the future.
A vast similitude interlocks all,
All spheres, grown, ungrown, small, large, suns, moons, planets,
All distances of place however wide,
All distances of time, all inanimate forms,
All souls, all living bodies though they be ever so different, or in different worlds,
All gaseous, watery, vegetable, mineral processes, the fishes, the brutes,
All nations, colors, barbarisms, civilizations, languages,
All identities that have existed or may exist on this globe, or any globe,
All lives and deaths, all of the past, present, future,
This vast similitude spans them, and always has spann'd,
And shall forever span them and compactly hold and enclose them.
The title of the film comes from this poem, which translates to the seaside at night, or the night by the seaside, it doesn't matter. Love turns people into monsters, monsters dream at the seaside and live as usual, but they seem to absorb the energy of the sea.
"Simple things are the happiest, top, and most addictive! Learning is the simplest of them all, followed by falling in love, listening to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and eating a plate of noodles in the deep night. I want to experience simple but thorough happiness every day. ."

1 Occasionally, director Hong Sang-soo's dream scene of a man cleaning a glass will appear. How did you come up with this image? In our dreams, the events and creatures of the imagination are made up out of elements of everyday experiences. But it sees better. Through the reorganization and arrangement of everyday experiences, dreams, like poetry, present different imagery.
In the 2 films, the actress said that reading is the most rewarding when reading is fiercely opposed to reading. That is to say, take the initiative to read. I have gotten this kind of intensity recently. I hope I can practice so that even if I sit on the most comfortable sofa, I will not be sleepy, and the more I read, the more awake I become.
