A person, individually, is always terribly lonely forever and ever. - Sakutarō Hagiwara

Poetry is the intellect's product of one second. A certain type of sentiment that one ordinarily has touches something like electricity and for the first time discovers a rhythm. This electricity is, for the poet, a miracle. Poetry is not something anticipated and made.

Ah lukewarm as this spring night
you who wander in a vermilion florid kimono
you who are as gentle as a younger sister
it's neither the cemetery's moon nor phosphorescence
nor shadow nor truth
and how simply so sad it is.
And so my life and body go on rotting
and in the shadow of the hazy landscape of "Nihilism"
are sensuously yet stickily reclining you see.

Suppose a mechanical man has a feeling? It will be nothing but boundless sorrow.
