~Run, wolf warrior, run (Wolf’s Rain)~

“Run, wolf warrior, to ends eternalThrough the wreckage of the death of the dayScent of silence under starlight spinningA captured beast within a human skin Are you searching for long lost landscapesLit by flowers and crystal cascades?Where the lamb lies down with the lionWhere the wolf is one with the wild Run, wolf warrior, through kingdoms’ chaosSenseless cities and ghost towns toweringHowl, O hunter, though few know you’re cryingFace upturned into that midnight moon Are you hunting for mystic mountainsWhere the air is like liquid laughter?Where the beasts inherit the earthWhere the last again will be first Run, wolf warrior, to hide your hungerThe rain will wash away the pains of the dayIn your eyes there are cold fires burningTongues of flame that can never be tamed Are you running from Man’s delusionMajestic madness and your exclusionTo where the lamb lies down with the lion?

Are you running to freedom’s fortressBy the side of wide open seasWhere the wolf is one with the wild? Run, run, run… Run, run, run, run, run, run on, run on through the rain… (Run, wolf warrior, run – Wolf’s Rain) Link: https://www.animelyrics.com/anime/wolfsrain/runwolfwarrior.htm

“A lesson without pain is meaningless. For you cannot gain anything without sacrificing something else in return, but once you have overcome it and made it your own…you will gain an irreplaceable fullmetal heart.” (Edward Elric – Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood)

“Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage.Why are you full of rage?Because you are full of grief.” (Anne Carson (Translator), Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides)

~TO MY MOTHER, B. HEINE, NÉE VON GELDERN~

“I have been wont to bear my head right high,My temper too is somewhat stern and rough;Even before a monarch’s cold rebuffI would not timidly avert mine eye.Yet, mother dear, I’ll tell it openly:Much as my haughty pride may swell and puff,I feel submissive and subdued enough,When thy much-cherished, darling form is nigh.Is it thy […]
