My Longing for You (Ono No Komachi)


My longing for you -
Too strong to keep within bounds.
At least no one can blame me
When I go to you at night
along the road of dreams.

Georges de La Tour 

Kore (Excerpt)


Morning to morning
the same door opening inward
from both sides
laugh close as you are
it is cold in the house
and I burned up all the matches in the night
to look at you.

Georges de La Tour
