2 Quotes by Yu Miri

Raindrops suddenly began to fall, wetting the roofs of the huts. They fall regularly, like the weight of life or of time. On nights when it rained, I couldn't stop myself from listening to the sound, which kept me from sleeping. Insomnia, then eternal sleep--held apart from one by death and the other by life, brought closer to one by life and the other by death, and the rain, the rain, the rain, the rain.It rained on the day that my only son died.

The waves roared.I stood alone in the darkness.Light does not illuminate.It only looks for things to illuminate.And I had never been found by the light.I would always be in darkness.
