To celebrate Nakahara Chūya’s birthday here are his top three quotes from my blog:
Quote #3:
Searching for memories that aren’t there, this heart of mine
Closes itself up, languishes like an old moldy box of trinkets
And then there are these sunken cheeks, these cracked lips-
Bitterness bred in cruelty comes rushing out in silence…
I’ve grown accustomed to it all, and have leaned to bear it
But sometimes any degree of loneliness can bring you down
And while I cannot know for sure, sometimes it seems as if
These tears are no longer tears for having loved someone…
- Nakahara Chūya, “Poem of the Sheep” from Poems of the Goat
Quote #2:
Soiled Sorrow:
today too snow falls on it;
soiled sorrow:
today too wind blows on it.
Soiled sorrow
is like, say, a fox’s fur;
soiled sorrow
in its torpor dreams of death.
Soiled sorrow
frightens me piteously;
soiled sorrow
can’t be remedied, and the sun sets…
- Nakahara Chūya, “Soiled Sorrow” from The Poems of Nakahara Chūya
Quote #1:
Now in this world full of sadness,
Don’t let your heart harden.
For the sake of whatever intimacy we could have,
Don’t let your heart harden.
Hardened, the heart is oblivious to the world,
And words fall silent on the soul.
Nurturing serenity, man returns to that dreaminess
Known at the beginning, and can make sense of it all.
- Nakahara Chūya, “Untitled” from Poems of the Goat
