散る桜心の鬼も角を折る
chiru sakura kokoro no oni mo tsuno wo oru
cherry blossoms scatter--
even the devil in me
has lost his horns
летит цвет сакуры -
черт в моём сердце
сбрасывает рога

[Dec. 31st, 2008|12:17 am] |
by James P. Carse.
To be prepared against surprise is to be trained. To be prepared for surprise is to be educated. Education discovers an increasing richness in the past, because it sees what is unfinished there. Training regards the past as finished and the future as to be finished. Education leads to a continuing self-discovery; training leads toward a final self-definition. Training repeats a completed past in the future. Education continues an unfinished past into the future. |

hordes of hell celebrate
the new year
translated by David Lanoue
сегодня даже исчадия
ада празднуют
Новый Год
