"Body and spirit will never be united. There must be a higher principle somewhere that makes art and behavior in harmony. That principle that happens to me is gone. The vast atmosphere is high up where there is no oxygen to fill the dead, where people must survive. Wearing a mask, my mind is laid-back, my mind is active, there is no movement, no sound, no memory. The enclosed cockpit and the outside space are like mind and body. Here I see the result of my last effort. Here silence is above words. Beauty has no body and spirit Pen and sword Men and women And then I see a huge circle of light around the earth A circle that resolves all contradictions A circle bigger than the earth is more fragrant than all the scents I've ever smelled That's what I've always been The moment of exploration, the moment when the blade cuts through the skin, the sun rises and shines brightly to illuminate the entire sky” / Mirror / The United States always captures Japan’s unique beauty The United States and Japan are like a pair of counselors and patients in a counseling room There is a deformed love without this love there would be no Mishima
