Scraping Daytrana Patches

HAGIWARA Sakutaro

Face sick to the bottom of the earth

Deep in the earth appears a face, a face
a patient alone.

In the darkness in the depths of the earth,
Gently push the stems of herbs,
Appear nests of rats began to tremble
hair countless
Who mingle,
Grow bamboo fine roots green
They grow, they look good and
fatal,
As if they smoked,
fatal Really good.

In the darkness in the depths of the earth,
Appears a face of a patient alone. From

howling at the moon (1917)


(I want to go to France)

I want to go to France,
But France is too far.
At least I take my new jacket,
and to travel without a destination.
All alone, I'll think of pretty things
leaned against the window blue
When the train passes through the mountains.
At dawn of May, wants
As the heart where young people grow herbs.

HAGIWARA Sakutaro (1886-1942) was a Japanese poet, generally regarded as the innovator of modern Japanese poetry. His first collection of poems howling at the moon (1917) has been indexed because of his immorality. Her untitled poem that begins with the words "I want to go to France" remains firmly etched in the memory and the unconscious of all Japanese Francophiles.
