Imaginarium Theater Quote

"For you and me there is always time enough to hesitate a hundred times.

Hesitate a hundred times, fantasize a hundred times, before finishing the bread and hot tea.

Shake the head a hundred times, give up a hundred times, wrinkles climb the corners of the eyes, no teeth left by the mouth."

—Winds of the Forest: Simon Who Goes in Circles

"No need to sigh for withered fallen leaves;

when next year's spring wind blows, new buds will open again.

Like white dew that gradually melts on an autumn morning,

it will at last fall as rain that nourishes the mountain forest."

—Winds of the Forest: Autumn Wind Song III

"I once had many quarrels with this world,

and now my rage has quieted with life.

This was originally the epitaph I wrote for myself,

but now these words are already futile—

a good doctor has pulled from my throat that harmful button."

—Winds of the Forest: Amusing Tales VI

"The child was about to travel far; the poor mother could only offer a hand-painted icon.

The image was so simple and crude that in the market it would not be worth a coin.

Yet O Anemo Archon, please protect him—

though so meager a gift, it holds a mother's true heart."

—Winds of the Forest: Poem of a Thousand Winds

"On the peak of Starsnatch Cliff,

all has already sunk into stillness.

Atop every treetop,

one hears no flock of winds,

nor sees the form of little birds;

stop a while and rest—

do not hurry on."

—Winds of the Forest: Traveler's Night Song

"There is a row of green grape fields at the lake's edge.

Wind stops upon the broad earth and covers the manor with mellow scent.

A pitch-black dusk is soon to come; a storm will sweep the fields.

Companions, harvest the fruit quickly—do not let the fine wine turn bitter."

—Winds of the Forest: Harvest Song

"A light breeze has already come; plants grow daily more spirited.

Bird flocks sing with grace; flowers have already bloomed.

O my beloved, please hear me pour out my heart."

—Winds of the Forest: Early Spring III
