Shame in the Blood

By Tetsuo Miura

“Whether we seek death or it seeks us, and whenever, wherever, for whatever reason we may die, it seemed to me that death, which arrives and leaves in a fraction of a second, is exactly the same for everyone. No death can ever be beautiful or ugly. One day, death comes and departs again instantly, leaving only a dead body behind. It is so astonishingly cold, surprisingly austere. It offers no room at all for any emotion to slip through. It doesn’t even want to accept sadness immediately.” 138
