I often laughed,

and you often gave me

a dissatisfied look,

till you pressed me

to unfold my past before you

as if it were a roll of pictures.

It was then I felt

respect for you.

Because

you unreservedly

showed me your resolution

to catch something alive in my being,

and to sip the warm blood

running in my body,

by cutting my heart.

At the time ,

I was still living ,

and did not want to die.

So I rejected your request ,

promising to satisfy you some day .

Now I am going to destroy my heart myself ,

and pour my blood into your veins .

I shall be happy

if a new life can enter

into your bosom ,

when my heart has stopped

beating.

— Natsume Soseki [ kokoro ] —
