"Song of the Sheep (to Yasuhara Yoshihiro) III She trusted me completely, confided in me completely, her heart was the colour of an orange; that tenderness did not overflow, nor did it cringe away, like a deer. I forgot everything I was doing; that time was the only time I savoured."

-Chūya Nakahara, The Poems of Nakahara Chuya

-Chūya Nakahara, The Poems of Nakahara Chuya

"Image (II) Over every extinguished past, tears gush out. The castle wall is desiccated; the wind blows. The grass waves; over the hills, across the fields no rest; white angels countenances do not appear. Alas I wish to die; alas I wish to live; alas I, over every extinguished past, let tears gush out. Out of the sky the wind blows."
