『羅生門』 第三話　芥川龍之介・著
   'Rashomon' #3     
   Written by Ryunosuke Akutagawa

その代わりまた鴉がどこからか、
たくさん集ってきた。
昼間見ると、その鴉が何羽となく輪を描いて、
高い鴟尾のまわりを啼きながら、
飛びまわっている。
ことに門の上の空が、
夕焼けであかくなる時には、
それが胡麻をまいたように はっきり見えた。
鴉は、勿論、門の上にある死人の肉を、
啄みに来るのである。――もっとも今日は、
刻限が遅いせいか、一羽も見えない。
ただ、所々、崩れかかった、
そうしてその崩れ目に長い草のはえた
石段の上に、鴉の糞が、
点々と白くこびりついているのが見える。
下人は七段ある石段の一番上の段に、
洗いざらした紺の襖の尻を据えて、
右の頬に出来た、大きな面皰を気にしながら、
ぼんやり、雨のふるのを眺めていた。

This is a short musing over something I have thinking about for a while, about how, like bodybuilders, those who have a plan and are consistent, make gains. This applies to anything and everything in life, so why not to learning English?..

This episode introduces listeners to Walt Whitman, "America's World Poet." Listen to Whitman's poem, "Beginning My Studies," along with a short description of his life and a discussion of the language he uses.

Beginning my studies, the first step pleas’d me so much, 
The mere fact, consciousness — these forms — the power of motion,
 The least insect or animal — the senses — eyesight — love;
 The first step, I say, aw’d me and pleas’d me so much,
 I have hardly gone, and hardly wish'd to go, any farther,
 But stop and loiter all the time, to sing it in ecstatic songs.
