"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)

The Dragon Never Sleeps - Glen Cook
"The breeze off the sea carried the murmur of spirits and sprites and a coolness that kissed Blessed Tregresser's cheeks. He stared out at the waves, watched one after another roll in and smash itself on the foot of the cliff, a hundred meters below. Darkness slithered over the water. The sun was setting behind him. As it did the evenings party came to life." - Chapter 26, Page 58. "The Dragon Never Sleeps." Glen Cook. Excellent Sci-Fi novel so far.
