Stop yourself from being a warm hearted and tender man who cares for his company and family beyond their wildest imagination? Stop yourself from being a literary genius who was likely one of the best professors in the entire state? Stop yourself from being brave in the face of a cancer diagnoses so not to burden those who you cherish, even if they’d never show you the same regard? Stop yourself from understanding the significance of every decision you made, big or small, and that love comes in all different varieties as you peacefully pass onto the next life? Why would you want to stop yourself from that, anon?

From the classic historical fiction "Musashi" by Eiji Yoshikawa, Hon'iden Matahachi. He made nothing of himself. After fleeing the battle of Sekigahara with his friend, Shimmen Takezo (who later became the legendary Miyamoto Musashi), he abandoned his fiancé (the beautiful Otsu) waiting for him back home in his small hometown village for a whore-widow in the city. During the prime of his life he wasted his days mired in alcohol and meaningless cooming. He's a delusional egomaniac, was incessantly told that he has potential, and is incapable of producing any coordinated effort.

I'm not sure why every other cover of this book is so sexual. Sure there is that aspect of it but not much more than you'd find in your average 1830s novel honestly. Would have been much more fitting and ironic with Napoleon on the cover or something.

Also needless to say 99.9% of European women would not have looked anything like that with their clothes off in the early 1800s

[Anonymous No.19357163]

The mirrors on the landing reflected ladies in white, pale-blue, and pink dresses, with diamonds and pearls on their bare necks and arms.
Natásha looked in the mirrors and could not distinguish her reflection from the others. All was blended into one brilliant procession. On entering the ballroom the regular hum of voices, footsteps, and greetings deafened Natásha, and the light and glitter dazzled her still more.

More than half the ladies already had partners and were taking up, or preparing to take up, their positions for the polonaise. Natásha felt that she would be left with her mother and Sónya among a minority of women who crowded near the wall, not having been invited to dance. She stood with her slender arms hanging down, her scarcely defined bosom rising and falling regularly, and with bated breath and glittering, frightened eyes gazed straight before her, evidently prepared for the height of joy or misery. She was not concerned about the Emperor or any of those great people whom Perónskaya was pointing out—she had but one thought: “Is it possible no one will ask me, that I shall not be among the first to dance? Is it possible that not one of all these men will notice me? They do not even seem to see me, or if they do they look as if they were saying, ‘Ah, she’s not the one I’m after, so it’s not worth looking at her!’ No, it’s impossible,” she thought. “They must know how I long to dance, how splendidly I dance, and how they would enjoy dancing with me.”

The strains of the polonaise, which had continued for a considerable time, had begun to sound like a sad reminiscence to Natásha’s ears. She wanted to cry. Perónskaya had left them. The count was at the other end of the room. She and the countess and Sónya were standing by themselves as in the depths of a forest amid that crowd of strangers, with no one interested in them and not wanted by anyone. Prince Andrew with a lady passed by, evidently not recognizing them. The handsome Anatole was smilingly talking to a partner on his arm and looked at Natásha as one looks at a wall. Borís passed them twice and each time turned away.
