"II. My longing for you - / too strong to keep within bounds / At least no one can blame me / when I go to you at night along the road of dreams. / III. The cicadas sing in the twilight / of my mountain village - / tonight, no one / will visit save the wind. / IV. Awake tonight with loneliness, / I cannot keep myself from longing / for the handsome moon. / V. This heart, / longing for you / breaks to a thousand pieces - / I wouldn't lose one." — Ono no Komachi, from The Ink Dark Moon (tr. Jane Hirshfield and Mariko Aratani)

#this quote doesnt compare perfectly to hannigram #the focus on loneliness and the undertones of hopelessness are a bit off #like i feel like they long for each other more out of compulsion and irrevocable love than loneliness #and obviously will couldve come for hannibal whenever and hannibal wouldve had him and hannibal knew will would eventually come for him #because his ego is the size of the sun #but i thought the mountain village and cicada part #and just the general theme of longing #was too good not to make this #pluto web weaves #nbc hannibal #hannibal #hannibal lecter #will graham #hannigram #mine #hannibaledit #hannibal parallels #comparative #comparisons #web weave #web weaving #longing #ono no komachi #the ink dark moon #japanese literature #japanese poetry #quotes
