“

summer night — blossoming in the pond, water-lilies and stars a leaflet about behaviour on the streets — the wind feels it all over autumn wind... I yearn for the place from where it blows bamboo stems — their memories of the sun icy beach a child treads upon broken bits of seashells murmuring surge mussel shells slightly open hazel catkins in the mizzling rain... a long, long dream autumn storm a cormorant sits on the throne of winds river mist barges transport coal in both directions autumn dusk a cat rubs its shadow against fishermen's legs.
