Status Updates From 春の雪：丰饶之海（一）

"... when traversing a world of unceasing flux, the only thing of importance was to radiate beauty."

From a few pages back... "Dreams, memories, the sacred—they are all alike in that they are beyond our grasp. Once we are even marginally separated from what we can touch, the object is sanctified; it acquires the beauty of the unattainable, the quality of the miraculous. Everything, really, has this quality of sacredness, but we can desecrate it at a touch."
