Читать книгу Are You an Echo? - Misuzu Kaneko - Страница 16

To Misuzu, everything was alive and had its own feelings—plants, rocks, even telephone poles! She felt the loneliness of whale calves orphaned after a hunt. She felt the nighttime chill of cicadas who had shed their old shells. And she felt the tearful sadness of a flower wet with dew.

She even felt bad for the fish on her plate:

Fish

I feel sorry for the fish in the sea.

Rice is grown by people,cows are raised on pastures, even carp are fed in their ponds.

But the fish in the sea—no one looks after them;they do no harm.And yet, here I am about to eat one.

I feel so sorry for the fish in the sea.
