'Twilight' images are found in Kwang-gyun Kim's poetry very often and discussed as the main images and an important clue to his world of awareness.
'Twilight' sets the time frame and creates the spatial mood for most of his poems. It is the transitional time between day and night on the extension of a day, and its images show the change of awareness along with the flow of time in connection to other time frames. The disappearance of sunlight and the unique color images of sunset create the spatial mood, while the color stains every landscape and object in the sky and on the land within an instance. The 'time and space' characteristics of the twilight images were discussed in relation to 'form color' and other images.
The awareness of time of 'twilight' is specified by a 'lantern'. The verse that clarifies this is 'The night turns on.' The awareness of 'anxiety and complaint' in the reality of night appears in the forms of 'declivity and fall', and those forms refer to 'the fall of the world.' With poems such as 'Lantern', or 'the people's poems (modernist poems)', Kwang-gyun Kim argues that we should endure and fight through the fall of time.
The awareness of space of 'twilight' is represented by the disappearance of sunlight and the 'purple' color of sunset. Its color is an extensive color that stains the world including all of the landscapes and objects in it. It reveals the 'depression of the world' and dominates the entire awareness of the poetic ego. The various symbols of color in his poetry are circulated and regenerated along the time of day within the inherent space. In most cases, he intends to return to the 'innocent hope' of the past through 'white' in the 'purple' space of 'twilight'.
The 'auditory' images of 'twilight' appear as the 'sad cry' which expresses the reality. The cry is mostly accompanied by 'tears' and followed by 'tactile' images. 'Synesthetic' images are the methodological outcomes that unravel his visual figuration, or painterly quality, and sometimes represent 'salvation from reality or prospect of future' in combination with 'twilight' images.
The study of 'twilight' images in Kwang-gyun Kim's poetry offered a chance to confirm that Kwang-gyun Kim, a modernist, was a poet who demonstrated extraordinary skills and talents in depicting the reality as a sensory designer.
