Yukio Mishima

Yukio Mishima

Yukio Mishima
Possessing by letting go of things was a secret of ownership unknown to youth.
Yukio Mishima
For clearly it is impossible to touch eternity with one hand and life with the other.
Yukio Mishima
..and certain that life consisted of a few simple signals and decisions that death took root at the moment of birth and man’s only recourse thereafter was to water and tend it that propagation was a fiction consequently, society was a fiction too that fathers and teachers, by virtue of being fathers and teachers, were guilty of a grievous sin.
Yukio Mishima
I want to make a poem of my life.
Yukio Mishima
By means of microscopic observation and astronomical projection the lotus flower can become the foundation for an entire theory of the universe and an agent whereby we may perceive Truth.
Yukio Mishima
His emotion evident in the glitter of his eyes.
Yukio Mishima

Yukio Mishima
