Nature Quote by Eiji Yoshikawa
““Yes, you crows, Once in a while There’s a need for housecleaning, But not only in Nara. It’s nature’s way To make everything new again. So spring can rise from the ground, We burn leaves, We burn fields. Sometimes we want snow to fall, Sometimes we want a housecleaning. Oh, you crows! Feast away! What a spread! Soup straight from the eye sockets, And thick red sake. But don’t have too much Or you’ll surely get drunk.””
