Rosalia Chladek, ca. 1930
Unos van por un sendero recto.
Unos van por un sendero recto,
Otros caminan en círculo,
Añoran el regreso a la casa paterna
Y esperan a la amiga de otros tiempos.
Mi camino, en cambio, no es ni recto, ni curvo,
Llevo conmigo el infortunio,
Voy hacia nunca, hacia ninguna parte,
Como un tren sobre el abismo.Anna Ajmátova

Teruha at age 14,
when she was either still a MAIKO named CHIYOHA in Osaka, or a
MAIKO named CHIYOHA in Tokyo, where she had recently moved to escape her
scandalous reputation as “The Maiko without a Little Finger”.
