“Summer grass —no trace of mighty soldiers' dreams." (Uncredited haiku)
…
"That noise."
…
"The more distant sounds are the mines," replied the priest. "The closer sounds are from that island over there. They're knocking down the military installations. As if toppling what is left of 'mighty soldiers' dreams! Doesn't it remind you of that haiku? I'd like the great Basho to be able to see all this."

Until the end of time he would never forget his first sight of Gokumon Island. To the west, the autumn sky was clear and bright, bathed in late-afternoon sunshine. But the gloomy sky over Gokumon Island all the way to the east hung heavy like molten lead. The island itself loomed out of the sea, just at that moment shimmering as it caught the light from the western sun.
