As I glance out of my window, I find that it is snowing; our first snowfall has arrived. With the light now diminishing, I begin to enjoy the quiet solitude within my home; then I read this passage from Yamato Monogatari and melancholy settles.
"In my solitude,
I sadly wonder what to do,
But the only reply
Is the rustling
Of the reeds before me."
"Hitori shite
Ika ni semashi to
Wabitsureba
Soyo tomo mae no
Ogi no kotauru."
Paul
