A quotation from Cowper, William:

«
All flesh is grass, and all its glory fades
Like the fair flower dishevell’d in the wind;
Riches have wings, and grandeur is a dream;
The man we celebrate must find a tomb,
And we that worship him, ignoble graves.
»

Crosspost fragment from FB group. Murakami's novels feel very Playing with
The writing style of the monk Yoshida Kenko is informative when approaching the work of Murakami. His "follow the brush" style is a sort of early precursor to stream of consciousness writing, letting his mind play and following where it leads. This is also a great way to write a first novel. So Murakami was clever.

None of it connected with him for more than a moment. I suppose they were simply calming exercises. But contemplating the of his emotional experience, particularly the sadness, really did seem to interest him and give immediate relief.
