TRADUCCIÓN DE JUAN MARSE

I can't tell where it's beautiful, but what was conceived in the dream, once corrected by reality, returns to stimulate the dream even more.

Therefore, all this is not so much the beauty of the Golden Temple itself, but the beauty of the Golden Temple that I have imagined with all my heart and soul.

The consistent "self-love" radiates to the external real objects to complete the endowment of beauty, the enhancement of beauty, and the in-depth cognition of self-transformation, thus gaining beauty. The Golden Pavilion, this idea almost makes me intoxicated", and he also hates the beauty of the Golden Pavilion, the beauty that hinders his life, the beauty that is the "golden rule of life", so he wants to destroy it. Beauty, just as Mishima wrote about Mizoguchi’s childhood—a teenager with two diametrically opposed wills to power. He had to destroy the beauty of the Golden Temple, destroy the old beauty he added to the Golden Temple, and fall in love with beauty again, the beauty of disillusionment that was violently destroyed, a beauty that destroyed beauty. Such as the following text:
"However, the forces of darkness woke up and pulled me back. I still want to burn the Golden Pavilion. At that time, a life that has been pre-planned, specially made by me, and never heard of before will begin."

Mizoguchi es un joven poco agraciado, lo que le ha convertido en solitario, taciturno y acomplejado: el mal y lo trágico invaden sus pensamientos. Su única fascinación es el pabellón de oro de Kioto del que su padre, monje budista, le ha hablado que es la encarnación de la suprema belleza. Tras su muerte, Mizoguchi entra como novicio en dicho templo. Se pasa el tiempo admirándolo: es su único objeto de deseo, su obsesión. Pero cuando despierta en él la sensualidad, esta belleza suprema se va a interponer en sus relaciones amorosas, le va a impedir tener otras admiraciones o afectos; se va a convertir en un obstáculo para la vida de verdad. Solo su destrucción le puede liberar. Su amistad compartida entre el amable Tsurukawa y el mefistofélico Kashiwagi, y sus desencuentros con el superior, Tayama Dosen, precipitarán los hechos. "El Pabellón de Oro" es una novela en la que, como en parte de su obra, el elemento principal es la belleza y su destrucción, la vida y la muerte, eros y tanatos; nihilismo y aceptar lo irremediable, reflejo de aquel Japón, ante los ojos de Mishima, decadente y humillado tras la guerra.

Incredibly detailed description of what it is like to have a neurotic personality, and how it manifests in your social life. Also just a wonderful depiction of life in a Buddhist temple at the end of WW2 in Japan, something I knew absolutely nothing going into this. ( )
