My first and second realisations
Supremely kindwas
The Times Square of New York
To give me, to thrust upon me,
My first realisation.
Tokyo station,
The perfection of my confusion:
My second realisation.
New York, capital of the fulfilling and
fulfilled world;
Tokyo, capital of the transforming and
transformed world:
To you both my boundless joy's
Unreserved salutations!
