ワンダーネット鯨偶蹄目(クジラぐうていもく)きりん

「地軸の傾き23.4度だけ世界をナナメに眺めてみる

適当に世界をのぞくにはちょうどいい角度なのだ

すこおし傾(かぶ)いてみたことで

春夏秋冬(はるなつあきふゆ)季節が生まれるところがあり

喜怒哀楽の感動が生まれるところがある

そうして少しゆがんだまま

完全であることに 魂は震えるのだ」

 

詩:小林勇輝

[ Looking at the world at a 23.4 degree slant

Along the tilt of the Earth’s axis

It is a perfectly comfortable angle

 

For after all, it is just a bit of a slope,

Which gives birth to the four seasons

 

And in you,

A bit of lean births those emotions and inclinations

Which keeps you so pure

 

The way is to have some slope,

A little imperfect perfection

So that you may have freedom to be a little off center

And the soul may tremble and shake ]
