Pagera Editor's Note
Natsume Sōseki's 1907 prose memoir, written shortly after he resigned his university teaching post to become a full-time newspaper novelist. Arriving by the Tōkaidō rail in late spring, Sōseki rides through a cold and silent Kyoto with two companions to a hermitage at Tadasu Forest. The cold of the journey conjures memories of his student visit to Kyoto sixteen years earlier with his dead friend, the haiku poet Masaoka Shiki — leading to one of Sōseki's most personal meditations on friendship, loss, and the unchanging stillness of the ancient capital.

Original (Japanese)
汽車は流星の疾きに、二百里の春を貫いて、行くわれを七条のプラットフォームの上に振り落す。余が踵の堅き叩きに薄寒く響いたとき、黒きものは、黒き咽喉から火の粉をぱっと吐いて、暗い国へ轟と去った。 たださえ京は淋しい所である。原に真葛、川に加茂、山に比叡と愛宕と鞍馬、ことごとく昔のままの原と川と山である。昔のままの原と川と山の間にある、一条、二条、三条をつくして、九条に至っても十条に至っても、皆昔のままである。数えて百条に至り、生きて千年に至るとも京は依然として淋しかろう。この淋しい京を、春寒の宵に、とく走る汽車から会釈なく振り落された余は、淋しいながら、寒いながら通らねばならぬ。南から北へ――町が尽きて、家が尽きて、灯が尽きる北の果まで通らねばならぬ。 「遠いよ」と主人が後から云う。「遠いぜ」と居士が前から云う。余は中の車に乗って顫えている。東京を立つ時は日本にこんな寒い所があるとは思わなかった。昨日までは擦れ合う身体から火花が出て、むくむくと血管を無理に越す熱き血が、汗を吹いて総身に煮浸み出はせぬかと感じた。東京はさほどに烈しい所である。この刺激の強い都を去って、突然と太古の京へ飛び下り
