マッチ擦る / striking a match
マッチ擦るつかのま海に霧ふかし身捨つるほどの祖国はありや
寺山修司
At the moment of
striking a match, the sea is
blanketed in a dense fog—
Is there the Fatherland
to give my life for?
Shuji Terayama (1935-1983)
奥の細道 / The Narrow Road to the Deep North
月日は百代の過客にして、行かふ年も又旅人也。舟の上に生涯をうかべ、馬の口とらへて老をむかふるものは、日々旅にして旅を栖とす。 / Days and months are the passengers for a hundred generations, and the years coming and going are also travelers. The man who floats his life on a boat and grows old holding horses lives in journeys from day to day, and makes them his home.
