Quotes
Masaoka Shiki
- I want to sleep
- Swat the flies
- Softly, please.
- After killing
- a spider, how lonely I feel
- in the cold of night!
- For love and for hate
- I swat a fly and offer it
- to an ant.
- A mountain village
- under the pilled-up snow
- the sound of water.
- Night; and once again,
- the while I wait for you, cold wind
- turns into rain.
- The summer river:
- although there is a bridge, my horse
- goes through the water.
- A lightning flash:
- between the forest trees
- I have seen water.
