Example text
You hope things work out so that you can betray this marriage you have entered less than wholeheartedly. In general, young people insist on believing that love can vindicate selfinterest. Now, there is something you can depend on in the integrity of a mercenary man like me. Your squeamishness comes from some fuzziness in your· own integrity. Take the marriage portion and save it for alimony. That money doesn't obligate you. From what you said before, if you had four or five hundred thousand, you could keep your present house and bring your bride home there.
At the same time there wa8 a darkening of the white smoke around the flame. The beautiful youth's eyes were cloudy with desire. His flesh throbbed languidly. He did not know why, but he could stay here no longer. He got up from his chair. He had to get out. He had to get rid of the feeling. He went out the front door and tied the belt of the light navy-blue trench coat he wore over his school uniform. He told Yasuko that he had remembered a reference book he needed and was going to find it if he could.
He would never find what he wanted. Everywhere he went he would meet only his desire. Even in this abortive confession of those three nights of pain, Shunsuke could, as it were, hear the gears of this youth's desire turning. Was not -this, however, the epitome of art, the very model of the reality of artistic creation? In order for Yuichi's desire to come into reality, either his desire or his concept of what was real must perish. In this world it is believed art and reality live quietly side by side; but art must dare to break the laws of reality.
