#Genji49

I find it amusing that Kaoru can‘t sneak around without detection because of his fragrance. Those who‘ve not yet met him will soon get wise to what their noses tell them about spying eyes:
“What a lovely smell! There‘s some delicious incense in the air. It must be something the nun is burning, I suppose.”
#Genji49 also offers a new expression for crying oneself to sleep:
“Seafolk might well have fished below her pillow.”
😭🐟💦#Genji

rockpools That quote‘s fantastic! I think I‘ll be another couple of months finishing Genji (it was always going to happen) but I‘m very happy to have been introduced to him and his world. 6y

Having always been thoroughly pampered, he of course did not know what it was to languish in penury. To him life meant shivering with delicious pleasure before the dew on a flower. #Genji49
