"Beyond the heronry, if it were cloudy as yesterday, the seagreen and
the mintgreen of the morass grass, the moonstone blue of the river
surface absorbing the muted light, the celadon blue of the Japan Sea
laced with the breaker waves in oxidized silver, and the liquid jade
green sky with fat cream poured in--all those colors would be fused and
mirror on one's cornea behind the cool veil of the early autumn." (Kyoko
Yoshida)
