Word and Image.

"Otaguro's hands were large, though emaciated, and the sharp report of their clapping was as if the palms, like hollowed, rough-hewn cedar planks, had entrapped pure atmosphere, and crushed it with an explosive burst of divinity."

Words quoted from Runaway Horses, the second book of Yukio Mishima's greatest work of art, the tetralogy The Sea of Fertility.
Yukio Mishima, the greatest writer ever, had a soul of a samurai right until his end.

I can't add much more, besides the fact that I find the quote to be lovely and the combination with the picture to be wonderful. But, this has intrigued me to look into Mishima's work, since I had never heard of him before this. So, thank you for posting and sharing! ^-^
