Eiji Yoshikawa Quotes
How Was Gengo To Know, Saigyo Reflected, That This Unheroic Existence Imposed Even Greater Torment Than The Icy Lashings Of The Nachi Falls In Its Thousand-foot Leap? How Was Gengo To Realize That Saigyo Had Not Slept A Single Night Undisturbed Since He Had Fled His Home For The Eastern Hills, That His Sleep Was Haunted By The Cries Of His Beloved Daughter From Whom He Had Torn Himself.
Who Knew That During The Day, When He Went About His Tasks Of Drawing Water And Chopping Wood As He Composed Verses, The Sighting Of The Wind In The Treetops Of The Valleys Below And The Pines Surrounding The Temple Sounded To Him Like The Mourning Of His Young Wife, And So Troubled His Nights That Sleep No Longer Visited Him? Never Again Would Saigyo Find Peace. He Had Wrenched Asunder The Living Boughs Of The Tree That Was His Life. Remorse And Compassion For His Loved Ones Would Dog Him To The End Of His Days.
