Daffodil by Dazai Osamu

Dazai's timeless tale of fame, doubt, family and critics. A brand new translation from Maplopo.

.

Quotes from Daffodil:

". . .since time immemorial, geniuses have been utterly ignorant of their real worth. They can’t trust in their own strength. Perhaps that’s where the agony of a genius lies and is a reason for deep prayer, but because I am a worldly person of mediocre ability, I cannot provide an exact explanation for this."

"If I could have, I wanted to live the life of an artist—poor, but carefree, like you. . . . Seeing your freewheeling way of getting drunk made me envy you to the point that I was jealous. This, I thought, was an honest way to live a life. No ostentation, no flattery, and yet a life lived mightily with pride on one's own. How enviable to live such a life."

"Preoccupied with being insulted by others, I feel tense contending with life, like a dead leaf about to fall, constantly trembling—an intolerably crooked mind."

"I will not grumble in complaint anymore. I will graciously receive the punishment I am due. The sway of the tree branches outside has me presuming the wind to be harsh, and the driving rain has begun. I cannot hear the sound of the rain, nor the sound of the wind—nothing. It is so lonely a dusk as to be scary."

". . .the lord couldn’t bring himself to place absolute trust in his skill. He indeed possessed the fine skills of a master, but could not believe it to be true and lost his mind."

.

You can purchase your copy of Daffodil, which includes an introduction and Aftertalk by the translators Doc and Reiko Kane, on Amazon. It is available either in paperback or as an eBook.

[anne-bsd-bibliophile]

In the canon of the creative, there is perhaps no more daring, no more contestable, no more foul a word as “done”; its utterance is avoided until the last possible moment, declared with near universal undecidedness, often under duress. Yet without the prerequisite of a finish, there can be no commencement. How a conclusion unfolds, or what appearance it makes when rendered is without significance; to know we must finish is to know we must start. The trouble with saying a thing is complete, though, is all that exposure that’s heaped upon us. With the curtain up, the world is free to peer and jeer. And that is scary as hell.

Wind, Light, and the Twenty-Year-Old Me by Sakaguchi Ango Translated by Maplopo

Buy it in paperback or an eBook on Amazon. Check out Maplopo and their other translations on their website.

Quotes from Wind, Light, and the Twenty-Year-Old Me:

Looking back and examining my history during my year as a teacher, strangely and completely satisfied, I feel as though that person was someone else; every time I think about it, it feels like a lie - an inexplicably transparent falsehood.

“By nature, I give myself license to do things at whim; with my natural disposition, it’s impossible for me to obey the orders of others.”

“Truly adorable kids exist among the ones that are considered bad. Children are all adorable, of course, but beautiful souls reside within the naughty ones. The naughty ones have warm hearts and an appreciation for the nostalgic.”

“I was not in the slightest affected by these slurs, because those days I held myself entirely aloof from the worldly stuff, emotionally distancing myself from feelings of anger, sadness, hatred, or joy; I tried to live life allowing nature to take its course and didn’t fuss about anything, like a cloud drifting in the sky or water floating with the tide.”

“I think it’s inherently wrong to reflect upon the way others think and act, instead of thinking and acting on one’s own...”

In the midst of being absorbed by this vacant feeling, I came to imagine an apparition of myself sticking out its neck from the shadow of the clock on the wall and saying hello. I’d suddenly catch myself seeing myself, and I felt like my apparition was standing next to me and speaking to me, “Hey, what’s going on?” Although I like having my mind in a dull haze, sometimes my apparition would unexpectedly appear next to me like this and nag: “Hey, you! Don’t be so satisfied,” he’d say, glaringly.

“I can’t be satisfied?”

“Of course not. You must suffer. You must make yourself suffer as much as you can.”

“For what?”

“You suffer and only through that suffering will you be shown the answer. A person’s nobility lies in having oneself suffer. Everybody prefers being satisfied, even a beast.”

Is this true, I thought?...

“I could gaze at life so dear within every single drop of rain on a rainy day and within the sound of the madly screaming wind on a stormy day. I continued feeling this precious life in the leaves of trees, birds, insects, and those clouds that drifted above - always chatting with my heart.”

“I cannot help but think my future holds only unhappiness for these three [students]. My initial gaze into what unhappiness was came not from my own relation to unhappiness, but from above the students’ gloom. This unhappiness means one is not loved; one is not respected.”

“Men of [twenty-two], though, are more mature than men of forty or fifty. Their moderate nature comes naturally to them and is not fabricated, forced, or twisted like that of an older man. For a certain period in life, I think every man is an optimist like [Voltaire’s] Candide. Then they fall and become decadent. But, I assume most lose purity in their souls as their bodies become more decadent.”

“Children act out because they’re sad; invariably, there is meaning behind their actions, therefore, we should never judge a child’s actions by what we see on the surface.”

The troubles and agony children lock in their hearts are persistent and serious just as with adults, and perhaps even more so with children. Just because the reasons for their troubles are childish, we cannot conclude the depth of their agony is infantile. The degree of self-reproach and anguish is the same for everyone regardless of age, whether a boy of seven or a man of forty.

“If you can’t help but do bad things, don’t use others. Act on your own. Good or bad, you’ve got to do things on your own.”

“You see, I had wanted to become a novelist since I was a young boy. But I convinced myself I did not possess the talent. This deeply entrenched belief that had me give up right hope altogether could be what fundamentally drove me to madness and desperation.”
