From the text
“She sang of the big tree-trunks, standing close together, with their roots intertwining below the earth and their branches intertwining above it; of their rough coating of bark and queer, gnarled limbs; of the bushy foliage that roofed the entire forest, save…”

Have you heard of the great Forest of Burzee?
부르제 숲에 대해 들어보셨습니까?
Nurse used to sing of it when I was a child.
내가 어렸을 때 간호사가 그 노래를 부르곤 했어요.
She sang of the big tree-trunks, standing close together, with their roots intertwining below the earth and their branches intertwining above it; of their rough coating of bark and queer, gnarled limbs; of the bushy foliage that roofed the entire forest, save where the sunbeams found a path through which to touch the ground in little spots and to cast weird and curious shadows over the mosses, the lichens and the drifts of dried leaves.
그녀는 서로 가까이 서 있는 커다란 나무줄기들을 노래했습니다. 그 뿌리는 땅 아래에서 서로 얽히고 가지는 땅 위에서 서로 얽혀 있었습니다. 거친 껍질과 기묘하고 뒤틀린 가지들, 숲 전체를 덮은 무성한 잎사귀들, 다만 햇살이 작은 틈으로 땅에 닿아 이끼와 지의류, 마른 낙엽 더미 위에 기이하고 신비로운 그림자를 드리우는 곳만은 예외였습니다.
The Forest of Burzee is mighty and grand and awesome to those who steal beneath its shade.
부르제 숲은 위대하고 웅장하며 그 그늘 아래 숨어드는 자들에게는 두려운 곳입니다.
Coming from the sunlit meadows into its mazes it seems at first gloomy, then pleasant, and afterward filled with never-ending delights.
햇살 가득한 초원에서 미로 속으로 들어가면 처음에는 음침해 보이지만, 그 다음에는 즐거워지고, 나중에는 끝없는 즐거움으로 가득 차게 됩니다.
For hundreds of years it has flourished in all its magnificence, the silence of its inclosure unbroken save by the chirp of busy chipmunks, the growl of wild beasts and the songs of birds.
수백 년 동안 그곳은 온갖 웅장함을 뽐내며 번성해 왔고, 그 울타리 안의 고요함은 부지런한 다람쥐의 지저귐, 야생 짐승의 으르렁거림, 새들의 노랫소리 외에는 깨지지 않았습니다.
Yet Burzee has its inhabitants--for all this.
그러나 이 모든 것에도 불구하고 부르제에는 주민들이 있습니다.
Nature peopled it in the beginning with Fairies, Knooks, Ryls and Nymphs.
자연은 태초에 요정, 크누크, 릴, 님프들로 그곳을 채웠습니다.
