Quotes from Takuboku Ishikawa

What shall I do with this ageing me? Neither floating nor sinking, I drift, tossed by the waves of years.

just for once i want a love that feels like plunging my flushed cheeks into deep soft snow

I wish to experience the sort of love That compels the dipping of my burning face in softly piled snow.

I'm nostalgic for the anger I once had.

I want to go to the mountains, I want to go to the sea, I want to go to a place where no one knows me, I want to be lost among the people who speak a language I don't understand at all.
