Amid the moon and the stars, amid the clouds of the night, amid the hills which bordered on the sky with their magnificent silhouette of pointed cedars, amid the speckled patches of the moon, amid the temple buildings that emerged sparkling white out of the surrounding darkness - amid all this, i was intoxicated by the pellucid beauty of uiko's treachery.

Amid The Moon And The Stars, Amid

Yukio Mishima
Amid the moon and the stars, amid the clouds of the night, amid the hills which bordered on the sky with their magnificent silhouette of pointed cedars, amid the speckled patches of the moon, amid the temple buildings that emerged sparkling white out of the surrounding darkness - amid all this, i was intoxicated by the pellucid beauty of uiko's treachery.

More From Yukio Mishima

The thoughts that occur to me while i’m running are like clouds in the sky. clouds of all different sizes. they come and they go, while the sky remains the same sky always. the clouds are mere guests in the sky that pass away and vanish, leaving behind the sky.
Running Sky Clouds
There was a sky somewhere above the tops of the buildings, with stars and a moon and all the things there are in a sky, but they were content to think of the distant street lights as planets and stars. if the lights prevented you from seeing the heavens, then preform a little magic and change reality to fit the need. the street lights were now planets and stars and moon.

The sky was horribly dark , but one could distinctly see tattered clouds , and between them fathomless black patches. suddenly i noticed in one of these patches a star , and began watching it intently. that was because that star had given me an idea : i decided to kill myself that night .
Stars Dark Night
Even as a child, she had preferred night to day, had enjoyed sitting out in the yard after sunset, under the star-speckled sky listening to frogs and crickets. darkness soothed. it softened the sharp edges of the world, toned down the too-harsh colors. with the coming of twilight, the sky seemed to recede; the universe expanded. the night was bigger than the day, and in its realm, life seemed to have more possibilities.

Traveling is a fool's paradise. our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places. at home i dream that at naples, at rome, i can be intoxicated with beauty, and lose my sadness. i pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the sad self, unrelenting, identical, that i fled from. i seek the vatican, and the palaces. i affect to be intoxicated with sights and suggestions, but i am not intoxicated. my giant goes with me wherever i go.
Dream Sadness Home
People have stars, but they aren't the same. for travelers, the stars are guides. for other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. and for still others, for scholars, they're problems... but all those stars are silent stars. you, though, you'll have stars like nobody else... since i'll be laughing on one of them, for you it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. you'll have stars that can laugh!... and it'll be as if i had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh.

Suddenly it wasn't only a personal thing to me. i could picture hundreds and hundreds of boys living on the wrong sides of cities, boys with black eyes who jumped at their own shadows. hundreds of boys who maybe watched sunsets and looked at stars and ached for something better. i could see boys going down under street lights because they were mean and tough and hated the world, and it was too late to tell them that there was still good in it, and they wouldn't believe you if you did.
