何をしていたって
何をしていなくたって
いいんだよ
ぜったいなんてないんだよ
なんだってぜんぶぜんぶ
君のためになることなんだよ
君さえその気なら
Scene 2 – LEARNING
LEARNING, n. The kind of ignorance distinguishing the studious.
Ambrose Bierce, The Devil’s Dictionary
Into a blind darkness
they enter who are devoted to ignorance (rituals);
but into a greater darkness
they enter who engage in knowledge of a deity alone.
– Isa Upanishad
理解：曖昧で不確かで自己流で偏っているもの
Scene 3. – This Evening
Isn’t this evening just like a purple dream, Diana?
It makes me so glad to be alive.
In the mornings I always think the mornings are best;
but when evening comes I think it’s lovelier still.
– Anne of green gables
あっという間に暮れてしまう部屋の中
満ちていく色と思いに
わたしは窒息してしまう。
