“They were brought up in these ruins and no longer notice them.”
John Clellon Holmes

Osamu Dazai
“He would show up not with women but with two or three newspaper or magazine reporters. According to some of these fellows, now that the military had fallen, the impoverished poets and artists were going to be the new public heroes.”
Osamu Dazai, ヴィヨンの妻 [Viyon No Tsuma]
