I was reading the Economist, yesterday. Apparently, Tsutomu Yamaguchi died. He was one of the very few "double survivors" of the US's atomic bombing of Japan in 1945 — meaning, he survived Hiroshima, and then, 4 days later, survived Nagasaki. What I was struck by were some bits of his poetry, quoted in the magazine:
Carbonised bodies face-down in the nuclear wasteland
all the Buddhas died,
and never heard what killed them.
