by Yonejirō Noguchi (1875 - 1947)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

In the fog
Language: English  after the Japanese (日本語) 
When I am lost
In the deep body of the mist on a hill,
The universe seems built
With me as its pillar.
Am I the god upon the face
Of the deep, nay, deepless
Deepness in the beginning?
