Abiit, excessit, evasit, erupit! (He left, absconded, escaped, broke out!)
- Gaius Tullius Cicero, In Catilinam II

(As both "evasit" and "erupit" are valid translations of "escaped", it's a bit difficult to bold things here. The translation could just as well be "He left, left, escaped, escaped!")

[Suutashi]

A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked.
Anais Nin

[MistyDelusions]

Sunny skies sleeps in the morning
He doesn't know when to rise
He closes his weary eyes upon the day
Look at him yawning
Throwing his morning hours away
He knows how to ease down slowly
Everything is fine in the end
And you will be pleased to know
That Sunny Skies hasn't a friend

- Sunny Skies, James Taylor

First song that popped in my head when I saw the word 'morning'. Ah, good old music, good old times.

"With optimism, you look upon the sunny side of things. People say, 'Studs, you're an optimist.' I never said I was an optimist. I have hope because what's the alternative to hope? Despair? If you have despair, you might as well put your head in the oven."
-Studs Terkel

[Suutashi]

An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight... the truly wise person is colorblind.
Albert Schweitzer

"Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue."
-Buddha

(Why they felt the need to give this song two names I will never know.)

"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only at night."
-Edgar Allan Poe

[Suutashi]

Tsuki no kakera wo atsumete
(Gather the pieces of the moon,)
Yume wo kazari nemuru
(decorate the dream, and sleep)
Toki no suna chiribamete mo
(Even if I sprinkle the sand of time,)
Ano koro e kaerenai
(I cannot return to the past.)

"My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return."
-Maya Angelou

[Suutashi]

"Ride on, my gallant huntsmen! When must I come again?
For you should never want for a fox to chase all over the glen.
And when your need is greatest, just call upon my name,
And I will come, and you shall have the best of sport and game!"

And the men looked up in wonder and the hounds run back to hide,
For the fox, it changed to the Devil himself where he stood on the other side.
And the men, the hounds, the horses went flying back to town,
And hard on their heels come a little black fox, laughing as he ran.

Black Fox - Heather Dale

Sekai wa mawaru to yuu keredo
Nanimo watashi no naka meguru mono nado nai kara
Sotto tada mado no soto nagame
Kisetsu ga utsurou no wo miteimashou
- Sekai wa mawaru to yuu keredo, GARNET CROW (DC ending 487-490)

Even though it's said the world revolves,
I don't have anything revolving inside of me.
Let me just gaze quietly at view [sic!] outside my window,
And watch the seasons as they change.
- DCTP-Neg Translation (episode 487)



When I viewed that episode for the first time, I read the first line as "Even though it's sad the world revolves..."
Somehow, I liked my misread version better

[Suutashi]

In this raging storm
We fail to see tomorrow
In this cruel world
Tread down and get through it
Never let yourself break down, stand and fight!
Get through the unknown like your life
depended on it

Arekuruu arashi ni
Asuga mienaku tomo
Kokoronaki sekai ni
Fumi ni jirareyou tomo
Kesshite kujikezu tachiagaru no da
Na monaki kusa no inochi no gotoku

"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky."
-Rabindranath Tagore

[Suutashi]

Run away, Go. Run away, Go. Shinjiru mono nantenai
Jyoukuu ni mangetsu mo mienai neon no ame
Dokoni mukatte tobitateba ii?
Dakedo konobasho itakunai noni


RUN AWAY, GO. RUN AWAY, GO. There's nothing we can believe in
We can't even see the full moon within the NEON rain
Where should we fly off to?
I don't want to be here anyway
