“Yet, at this, how bitter I feel! / As the gods are my witness, / what galls me the most / is that even in my dreams, / I could never have known. . . . / Seeing him repeatedly / and hearing his voice, / how hateful it is that I / should yearn for him so . . ./”
Fukuchi Ôchi, Kagami Jishi

David Sedaris
“The story of Yoshitsune and the Thousand Cherry Tres was both simple and complicated. Simple in that things never change: people consistently jealous or secretive or brave-hearted. As for the rest, it all came down to a series of misunderstandings, the type that could happen to anyone, really. You assume that the sushi bucket is full of gold coins, but instead it's got Kokingo's head in it. You think you know everything about your faithful follower, but it turns out that he's actually an orphaned fox who can change his shape at will. It was he who spoke my favorite line of the evening, five words that perfectly conveyed just how enchanting and full of surprises this Kabuki play really is: 'That drum is my father.”
David Sedaris
