   천성을 바꾸어 놓는 힘

                                                                 Refrain tonight,
                              And that shall lend a kind of easiness
                              To the next abstinence; the next more easy;
                              For use almost can change the stamp of nature,
                              And either master the devil, or throw him out
                              With wondrous potency.

                                                                            (Hamlet  3.4.167-172)

                              오늘 하룻밤 참고 극기해 보시오.
                              그러면 내일 참기는 한결 쉬워지고
                              그 다음엔 더더욱 수월해진다오.
                              대저 습관이란 천성을 바꾸어 놓는 법,
                              비상한 힘이 있어
                              악마를 굴복시켜 몰아내 버리지요.
                                                    

                                                                (『햄릿』3막 4장 167-172행)
