“... and he who had never before spied on women going about their daily lives would have liked to watch these two forever, despite his guilt at heaving them in plain view without their knowledge.”

Already learning to be a perv, Lol. And this has been going on for more than a thousand years...

GingerAntics Men spying on women? Seriously? 5y

batsy Lol, this pic in relation to the quote is killing me. 5y

Lindy Perfect quote & photo combo! 5y

Faibka @GingerAntics Long ago, in an office far away where I used to work, there was a big scandal when it was found out while doing some repair work in the ladies restroom that someone had placed a hidden camera in the ceiling. Needless to say, we were mortified and felt paranoid when going to the restroom after that. 5y

Faibka @batsy @Lindy this is the image that came to mind when I read it 😂 5y

The Tale of Genji | Murasaki Shikibu

“Never mind now pursuing the lady he had come for, because she would only evade him again (...) but if this is that pretty girl in the lamplight, he decided, then so be it! -which was no tribute to his seriousness of character.”

Yeah no kidding, ugh he‘s such a flake. I‘m loving the little illustrations included throughout the book.

Tale of Genji | Murasaki Shikibu, Murasaki Shikubu

“This peep at everyday life was a most exciting novelty, and though he felt slightly uneasy at spying in this deliberate way upon two persons who had no notion that they were observed, he would gladly have gone on looking…” #Genji3
(Peeping and spying seems to be his regular behaviour but at least he feels uneasy about it.)

batsy So much peeping going on in general! 🧐 5y

TheWordJar It feels like their world is covered in screens, silks, curtains, shutters, etc. Peeping is really the only way they can see each other! 😂 5y

Lindy @TheWordJar @batsy This in #Genji4 : “Next time I come to visit your mother,” said Genji, “you must let me have a chance of peeping at them.” 5y
