The Vision
It is said that the author, Keiko Takemiya, received her inspiration for Kaze to Ki no Uta and designed the full plot in a single night. She then told her friend Norie Masuyama of the planned story and, following the publication of the manga, the two collaborated on a novel which provided a second half to the story, Kami no Kohitsuji (神の子羊?, lit. Agnus Dei or the Lamb of the God), by Noris Haaze (a pen name of Masuyama).

Famous quotes containing the word vision:
“Whatever else American thinkers do, they psychologize, often brilliantly. The trouble is that psychology only takes us so far. The new interest in families has its merits, but it will have done us all a disservice if it turns us away from public issues to private matters. A vision of things that has no room for the inner life is bankrupt, but a psychology without social analysis or politics is both powerless and very lonely.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“In clear weather the laziest may look across the Bay as far as Plymouth at a glance, or over the Atlantic as far as human vision reaches, merely raising his eyelids; or if he is too lazy to look after all, he can hardly help hearing the ceaseless dash and roar of the breakers. The restless ocean may at any moment cast up a whale or a wrecked vessel at your feet. All the reporters in the world, the most rapid stenographers, could not report the news it brings.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
