"Tom and Jerry used to be a five-minute interlude between Crackerjack and Blue Peter. Now it's the whole schedule." --Adam Roberts

"I go out of the darkness
onto a road of darkness
lit only by the far off
moon on the edge of the mountains."

--Lady Izumi Shikibu (tr Rexroth)

[this is my all-time favorite tanka.]

   Out of the darkness
onto a road of darkness
   i go, illumined
only by the far-off moon
on the edge of the mountains.

(my paraphrase into form)

   lenu mi klama
fi le manku le manku
   cu se gusni fi
le cmalu lunra po'o
nevi le cmana salpo

(in Lojban: My going from the dark via dark ways, is illumined only by a small moon on the mountain slope.)
