Andrea Rose: A Glimpse of Everyday Life


An old poem:


Code of Practice


In Korea's oldest books

Few misprints are ever found:

No errors were permitted.

Punishment was most severe,

According to the Code -

Thirty strokes of the cane

For a single mistake -

For everyone concerned,

From senior supervisor to the lowest apprentice.

Thirty strokes. Imprinted pain.

For five mistakes, dismissal.
