말없는 조용한 절망속에 살다가, 가슴속에 그절망의 노래를 품은채, 자신의 무덤까지 간다" - Henry Thoreau - "Mass of people lead lives of quiet desperation, and go to the grave with their song still in them."

관찰 같아서, 다시 소개하며 Alexander 님의 요청도 있고해서, 제 번역까지..

I translated here the song as hope, but Thoreau could have meant it as desperation itself! Because the desperation is the only thing that they are aware of, through their entire lives.
What is your opinion.

The above Korean translation is now my second improved version, influenced by bub zaa's version below. Further contributions are welcome.
