The columns, the gardens are all drying too-
Today is quite a day
A spider’s web beneath the porch
Is swaying as if forlorn
And withered trees on the mountain sough
O- today is quite a day
The shadows of roadside grass
Exude an innocent sorrow
This is my home
A fresh wind is even blowing
Go ahead and cry it all out-
An old woman croaks
O- what did you come here for…
The wind says to me

“You and I have become strangers, haven’t we? No, we always were strangers. Our hearts were in different worlds, a thousand miles, a million miles apart. If we were together, we’d only be miserable, both of us.”

The snow coming down overhead
Is fluttering down like petals
The burning firewood crackles
And the frozen sky bears iron hues
The snow coming down overhead
Is coming to rest in my hand
Delicately as of old
The snow coming down overhead
Landing on my burning forehead
Trickles off like tears
To the snow coming down overhead
I expressed my gratitude, and to God,
I prayed for longevity
The snow coming down overhead
Exudes an innocent purity

“What’s important in life is getting the taste of things. Living, you might say, is tasting. People are happiest when they can really learn to be who they are… A person has no other way to live than to be out-and-out the person he is.”

“No one wanted to know [other people] and no one wanted to be known. So no one knew anything about anyone else. They weren’t bothered by not knowing. They weren’t bothered by not being known. Moreover … They actually hated being known.”

“Even the brightest of you may not understand the agony of a writer who, feeling terribly ashamed of his work, sends it to a magazine as a duty to live in this world… It was a bad piece of work. On the surface, I was pretending to be honest, but underneath, I could see that it was crawling with the filthy worms of compromise.”
