先日、太宰治の『女生徒』(1939)を読んで、いい話がありました。
Ralph F.McCarthy (koudansha English Library)の訳で紹介します。
Tomorrow, no doubt, will be another day just like today.
Happiness will never come. I know that.
But as you're going to sleep, it's probably better to believe that
it will, that it'll come tomorrow....
"Happiness comes one night too late."
I dreamily remember those words.
Waiting and waiting for happiness, and, finally,
unable to bear the waiting any longer, leaving home,
and the following day wonderful news comes to the abandoned house,
but it's too late. Happiness...
