그림과 아래 영어로 된 부분은 제가 고친 부분입니다.
'거지'라면 생각나는 시인이 있다. ‘걸인시인'으로 알려진 영국시인 데이비스(William Henry Davies, 1871~1940)는 어렸을 때 부모를 여의고 조모 밑에서 가난하게 자랐다. 열세 살 때 친구들과 도둑질을 하다 체포된 후 퇴학을 당하고 액자공장에서 도금 기술을 배우지만, 그 일을 혐오해서 몰래 책을 읽다가 들키기 일수였다. 조모가 죽자 그는 고향을 떠나 일정한 직업 없이 걸식을 하면서 방랑한다.

Leisure
William Henry Davies
What is life if, full of
care,
We
have no time to stand and
stare.
No time to stand beneath the
boughs
And stare as long as sheep or
cows.
No time to see, when woods we
pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in
grass.
No time to see, in broad
daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at
night.
No time to turn at Beauty's
glance,
And watch her feet, how they can
dance.
No time to wait till her mouth
can
Enrich that smile her eyes
began.
A poor life this if, full of
care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

William Henry Davies (1871-1940)
William Henry Davies was born in Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales, the son of a publican. After an apprenticeship as a picture-frame maker and a series of labouring jobs, he travelled to America, first to New York and then to the Klondike.
He returned to England after having lost a foot jumping a train in Canada, where he led a penurious life in London lodging houses and as a pedlar in the country. He married in 1923, Emma, who was much younger than he. His first poems were published when he was 34.
Most of his poetry is on the subject of nature or life on the road and exhibits a natural simple, earthy style. He also wrote two novels and autobiographical works, his best known being Autobiography of a Super-Tramp.
