Yasunari Kawabata Quote
Seeing the moon, he becomes the moon, the moon seen by him becomes him. He sinks into nature, becomes one with nature. The light of the "clear heart" of the priest, seated in the meditation hall in the darkness before the dawn, becomes for the dawn moon its own light.
On the poetry of Myōe and ideas of Saigyō Hōshi - Japan, the Beautiful and Myself (1969)
