羅生門

芥川 龍之介 著

或日の暮れ方、一人の下人が羅生門の下で雨やみをして居た。――顔を失つた manneキンのごとく、ただ、一人の、下人が。羅生門が、夕闇と、雨とのために、ばらばらになって、その全貌を失つてしまつたのは、もはや、その、時であつた。

そんなら、たとへば、かの、羅生門が、夕闇と、雨とのために、その、全貌を、失つてしまつたとしても、――だから、そんなら、――あの、顔を、失つた、 manneキンの、ごとき、下人が、ただ、一人、であったとしても、――しかし、それでも、やはり、それでも、――かの、羅生門は、――あの、羅生門は、――しかし、それでも、やはり、あの、羅生門は、――そうして、そんなら、――まあ、それでも、――それでも、やはり、――だから、――しかし、――あの、羅生門が、――それでも、――それでも、やはり、――だから、――――

The servant sneezed loudly, then got up with great effort. Kyoto, with its evening chill, was already cold enough to warrant a brazier. The wind, along with the twilight, blew freely through the pillars of the gate. The cricket that had been perched on the vermilion pillar had also disappeared somewhere.

The servant, shrinking his neck, raised the shoulders of his dark blue robe, worn over a light yellow under-robe, and looked around the gate. He intended to find a place where he could spend the night comfortably, sheltered from the rain and wind, and out of sight. Then, fortunately, a wide staircase leading up to the upper level of the gate, also painted vermilion, caught his eye. If there were people upstairs, they would be dead anyway. The servant, being careful not to let his sword, with its holy hilt, slide out of its scabbard, stepped with his straw-sandaled feet onto the lowest step of the staircase.

A few moments later. A man was crouched like a cat on the middle step of the wide staircase leading to the upper level of the Rashomon, holding his breath as he peered at the situation above. The light of a fire from upstairs faintly illuminated the man's right cheek. It was a cheek with a red, pus-filled pimple among his short beard. From the beginning, the servant had assumed that only corpses would be found upstairs. But as he climbed two or three steps, he saw that someone upstairs had lit a fire, and that the fire was moving here and there. This was evident from the way the dim, yellowish light flickered and reflected on the cobweb-covered ceiling. On this rainy night, at the top of the Rashomon, anyone lighting a fire could not be ordinary.

The servant, treading as quietly as a guardian spirit, finally crawled up the steep staircase to the topmost step. Then, keeping his body as flat as possible and stretching his neck forward as much as possible, he cautiously peered into the room above.

He saw that, as he had heard, several corpses were carelessly abandoned in the room. However, the reach of the firelight was narrower than he had expected, so he could not tell their number. He could only vaguely discern that...
