From the train I looked down at her and <br>saw what I had never seen, a woman with unkempt hair, in an old overcoat <br>with missing buttons and shoes that needed heeling. There were many other <br>people on the platform, but she stood out looking like a bag woman. <br>I felt ashamed and guilty for feeling embarrassed. When returning I will have <br> money to buy her a new coat, shoes and send her to a hairdresser, I thought. <br>The train moved forward and I waved as long as I could see her. <br>A year later my ship had just left Tokyo, bound for the Panama canal, when <br>the radio operator came into the galley with a cable, I could see in his face he <br>had no glad tiding. I sat in my cabin grieving, took out the kimono I had bought <br>her it was made of silk and was as soft as a mother’s embrace; and I cried.<br>A knock on my door it was the captain who said: “No time for tears son, crew <br>needs to be fed and you are the cook.“ That night and many nights thereafter <br>I was lulled asleep by the ship’s steady heartbeat.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Oskar+Hansen">Oskar Hansen</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=473724" data-title="Kimono de Oskar Hansen" data-description="The Kimono I was joining a ship in another town; mother followed me the railway station, which was not far as we lived nearby?
