Sleeping Beauty and the Airplane

"Then I contemplated her, inch by inch, for several hours, and the only sign of life I could detact were the shadows of the dreams that passed along her forehead like clouds over water."

~~ from the re-reading of "Sleeping Beauty and the Airplane", one of my favorite short stories from "Strange Pilgrims"

  2. also maybe because you are still half baked :)
    a full baked poet would never do this !!!

    but seriously murakami is awesome. he knows many worlds, holds back his temptation for all out beauty .. all out anything actually. he knows life and its many harmonies and some harmonies are not harmonic at all. he loves food, women, music,sun and the rain like all of us but he really knows how to talk about it.
    haruki murakami can take a bow now !!!
