Through Seokjeong's early poems, 『Candle』(1939) and 『Sad Pastoral(牧歌)』(1947) the writer has seen the poet's imaginative scheme and the transformation process where time consciousness contains. This is to validate how Seokjeong responded to the principals of the poems work and what is called colonial fetters. Because time is another reality closely accumulated by the concrete reality and refraction of consciousness that the poet faces. Consisting of reflections with historical reality revealed early on the vertical time is a quick summary of the discussion as follows. In the early poems of Seokjeong the tragic reality in the colonial domination is the default condition in understanding Seokjeong's poetic world. When Seokjeong keeps distance from historical time, he takes the accommodative stance(↓). Thus, while it appears denying the current time accompanied by a separate self-consciousness. That is, this poetic way revealed by the disappearance of mechanism the tragedy of reality is an axis of early poetic world to recognize the reality passively. This kind of attitude toward life is the aspect of condition reflex behavior or a simple mechanical way of life. Another feature revealed in Seokjeong's early poems is a strong vertical time of transcendent nature(↑) This kind of time is revealed as an upward attribute opposing the tragedy of reality. Time based on the so-called continuation of time aims at the attributes of religious time contrast with time of routine; continuance, deity, identity, existence and unity. That's because the attribute of transcendence is to resolve the contrast and conflict between historical reality and ideal reality. This transcendent world means moving forward transcending space to the horizon spacially and temporally it means going back to the historical time; past, present, and future at the same time. As identified in the beginning, Seokjeong's time in his early poems is the vertical time divided into two parts. Then while existential time is earth-oriented based on the moment of present, a transcendent time contains aspect-oriented spatialization. The lower part is refracted by the belief and commitment toward a world of death but the top part has the characteristics that is devoted to the religious world to transcend the tragic routine. This kind of time consciousness was two basic devotions that Seokjeong himself could choose, who kept consistent in the situation where he could not fight against the history in the colonial face to face.
